I really appreciate how much effort went into telling me what to do, getting my hopes up, and keeping me on my toes with all those next steps that never came. It's so thoughtful of you to let me gather everything I needed, only to be told at the last minute that things aren't as they seemed. I guess it's just nice to know that, instead of being upfront from the start, I got the chance to wait, ask multiple times, and hope for something that would never happen. But hey, I'm sure there was a very good reason for all that unnecessary heartache. Thanks for keeping me in the loop--right up until the very end, that is.

When I brought it up to the shelter, they told me my vet would have no way of knowing about all of those issues. The lady at the front desk was extremely rude not friendly.

Not a friendly place that would make me want to adopt an animal. I do feel bad for the animals there.

My boyfriend and I were looking to adopt another cat to be a companion for our first one…read more We went online and found a four year old cat named Katie through a lady on Craiglist. She had found Katie and had taken care of her. I talked to this lady for a week or so about Katie and we decided to meet at the PetsMart that she was being kept at. My boyfriend and I fell in love with her, and were ready to get the adoption going. We sat down at the adoption table and started filling out the forms. Then the Adoption lady and her daughter asked us how old we were. My boyfriend was 20, and I 19. We did not see that as a problem, and neither did Katie's finder, however the adopters were disgusted. As soon as they found out our ages, they wanted to get us out of their adoption place as soon as possible. Asking us questions in a snotty way, and being completely rude. We would have been great owners for Katie. I have been an animal lover my whole life, and worked at a PetsMart. I am an animal activist, and Katie would have gotten nothing but love. The adopters knew that, but once they found out that neither of us were 21, it was all over. The last thing the adopter said to me was "We will call you if you get approved for the adoption, but we don't call people who don't." HOW RUDE? The lady who found Katie talked to us afterwords and expressed her feelings towards Second Chance Pet Adoptions, and said that if she had known that they would treat great pet owners that way, she would not have asked for their help to find Katie a loving home. I called the Second Chance Pet Adoptions and left a voice mail a few days later inquiring about my application, and saying that if we did not get approved we would appreciate a call anyway because we wanted Katie to find a home. However, i never receive a call or e-mail or anything. We wanted to give a cat a second change. This cat was 4 years old, and most people want kittens. But we loved Katie. Adopting cats is a great thing to do. I am glad that there or organizations that do it. But, when someone pretty much spits in my face for being young, despite my aptness to adopt and love an animal, that place should be shut down or put under new management. It was absolutely absurd. So a few weeks later we went to Wayside Waifs, where the staff was super friendly and did everything that they could to help us find the right cat. They adopted to us the same day. We did fill out an application and were asked various questions, but they saw what kind of people we were, and that we would take care of any animal.

Although the people was still nice, the process of me adopting my second kitten wasn't as smooth and detailed as it used to be. I guess maybe they're understaffed or don't have much budget.
