I just checked. I have 31 unfound ? within 10 miles of home: I own 1, I have solved 11, two are disabled, four I have given up on. I do like the new âadvanced searchâ. After talking with the ârescueâ, the kitty will not be coming to my home. They require cats under 1 to be rescued with a friend the same age. I am not prepared for two of them running around. I told them if he is still there after his birthday next month to call me back. I love how ârescuesâ come with terms and conditions. I might as well buy a cat from a breeder, there is less of a hassle.
Yes, I was told that I was unfit to adopt a rabbit from the Humane Society. I was astounded! I have raised rabbits my whole life! I used to breed and show them and know quite a lot about them. I wonder if the rabbit that I was going to adopt lived or had to be put down.
My wife and I were âhighly discouragedâ from attempting to adopt a few years ago. Both local agencies told us the same basic story. Us â Weâre interested in giving a child in need a great loving home. Them â But you already have 2 children. Us â Correct. Weâd be willing to take a couple more and weâre already experienced so you can see the environment theyâll be going to. Them â But you can just have more of your own. Us â We could, but donât you have children waiting for a loving home? Them â We donât understand why youâd want to adopt when you can have your own. Us â Because weâre Christians and youâre a Christian organization trying to place children. We see it as a win-win. You have children in need and weâre willing to provide. Them â But weâre really geared toward people that canât have their own for various reasons (i.e. same sex couples included even though this were Christian organizations). Us â So letâs get this straight. You have children that are waiting and weâre willing, but because we can have more of our own we really donât fit your model. Them â Correct. Itâs very unusual for couples like you to want to adopt.
Instead they have adopted two of my foreign exchange students and have been an amazing host family! Give me the number of that organization CJ and I will call them and let them know about their loss – which was my gain!
