What were your experiences with animal shelters?
You're paying fifty bongs for an animal you can get free by leaving out some scraps of food

>bongs
>yeah, she's gonna be alone for like 7 hours a day
I mean, she might have a point: my cat did get very emotionally attached to us, and would often meow loudly if left alone for a long time.
The problem is you told the truth, everyone lies on those things so why aren't you? Say youre working full time and therefore earn the full time salary and include your backyard in the size of your house and you also live with aunt Ethel, shes retired and lonely and has all the time in the world to spend with kots while you're at work.
If they even bother to check up on your workplace or house and say you lied just say:
>>"unfortunately aunt Ethel died in her sleep last week, I went into severe depression and have decided I can only handle part time work rn"
and that takes care of both lies and by that time they'll feel so bad for you they'll let you keep that cat anyway.
the cat police can take your cat if you don't lie?
Yeah it's like that here too
and with all the spay and neuter programs it's not like there's much people with cats having kittens they want to give away.
I got my cat because he just showed up at my door and came inside and become my pet. 10 years ago. Since then I see one stray cat but it's very afraid of me and runs away. So when my cat dies and I need another one I'm probably fucked.
They ask you so many questions and even make you register with a vet and set up regular appointments. Never tell them you'll let the cat outside or they will refuse to give it to you. My cat came from outside and when I first got him I let him out because I thought maybe he belonged to someone else and would go home but he always came back to me. But I never could make him indoor cat. At least he doesn't hurt birds, he is lazy and mostly just poops and naps outdoors.
Why you supporting GENOCIDE in Ukraine? Why not looked if Ukrainian sealing cattens before buy from Russian? Go into ass, fuck
>shelters are dogshit because they have a vetting process
lol, lmao
go back with these and a different name and say you work from home
Shelters in Europe have the pick of the litter.
Here in Denmark even shit dogs and cats go within a few weeks max so why would they pick someone who lives in a shoebox?
42m2 is too small for a cat, maybe OK if you had a ton of verticle space but you sound like a sperge.
>spca gets animals from the city for free
>charges hundreds of dollars to adopt
It's a scam. I asked at some street fair once why I should bother with all that when I could get the exact same animal off the street for free and they looked at me like I was retarded.
A lot of shelters are like this with dogs in burgerland.
I used to volunteer at a shelter before I moved out of state. This dude was abandoned inside an apartment for a 2 weeks before the landlord found him. He only weighed 31 lbs. he wouldn’t eat anything or keep down what he did eat. I said I would bring him home to foster since the vets were getting real worried about organs failing. He was doing much better after just a few days. I told them he was probably ready to be adopted, but wasn’t sure if he would relapse being “abandoned” again. I offered to adopt him as my dog had died a few years earlier.
They said, that’s great. Don’t worry about the adoption fee or anything we will take care of that. Just happy he’s doing well.
I’m poor. I rent. I think it’s just shelters in big cities that are super lame like you described.
Sounds like they might have trusted a volunteer to not fk up more than a random pleb of the street
>sperge
Thanks anon, never needed to know the Danish for sperg.
They did you a favor
Dont beome a man with a cat
Did you read the post? OP isn't a man, they're a disgruntled, unskilled sissy boy.
Did you make that up? If not, that's wild. Especially during kitten season. Bitch is getting little friends euthanized.
Some of these people would rather animals die than exist in ‘imperfect’ living conditions.
