I almost let one of the fosters go!!!
« on: March 26, 2006, 10:44:56 pm »
K...So, I get a call this past Fri. from someone interested in one of my foster kittens that I've had since the last week in Nov...Yes, I'm picky....lol.. .This lady sounds good...She seems to know alot about cats & has no problem signing the contract that goes along with my fosters...I'm thinking great!!...She was supposed to come today at 1 with her hubby & kids...I decided to take my kids to the river museum so I call to see if she can coem at noon instead...Well, I get her mom at her house...Seems lady who wants the kitten's phone is disconnected.. .So, I start asking the mom questions...Sh e says, "no, they can't afford another cat" (Lady told me she has no pets) & "they've always had cats but it's like a revolving door there...He gets tired of them & gets rid of them & they get another"...WHOA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...I left a sign on my front door that said the kittens had both been homed & took my kids to the museum...That's it!!!...I probably can consider my furry cat friends who live here a number of 10 instead of 8 now :-\...God I hate people!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm glad you found out the truth before they took any of them home!   :o

How horrible they would be less than honest with you..........a lthough nowdays it doesn't surprise me at all.   >:(

Makes me wonder what's up with mom though.  Although I don't doubt the validity of her statements, I wonder why she was so honest.  People are so weird!

I am really picky with all of my fosters too! The nice thing with our rescue is that potential adopters have to complete and application pass a vet reference check and then pass a home visit as well.
Thank goodness you got all this information before it was too late :)

I'm so glad you found out before the poor kitty went with that woman. I'm sure the kitties are happy to stay with you.
