Article in Salon showing why nowadays hard to adopt kittens


 

Aren't they a dime a dozen anywhere? Not exactly, in the US since the
pandemic. This is just about cats; I would not be surprised if
situation similar for dog adoption



One of the anecdotes depicts an experience our family had. I thought
people here might find this of interest

The questions asked sounded more like the couple were trying to foster or
adopt a child than a cat. No one ever asked us questions when we went to a
shelter for a cat or dog except as to whether or not we had children under
six years of age. They refused to let us have a dog or cat if a child was
under six. As we then had a new born and a five year old, my husband
found a collie for sale in the newspaper ad. He came home with a dog, a
cat, and a bag of peaches. The dog loved the five year old.

Their behavior is absurd. To me they seemed embodiments of what
Shakespeare meant when he said people with petty authority are the
worst tyrants. It was bigotry disguised as concern for the cats.
