I have never heard of anything so ridiculous in my life...

I mentioned that I filled out an online application to adopt an adorable kitten from a local animal shelter. That was on Friday night. Since I didn't even receive an acknowledgment of my application, I just called the shelter.

Do you know what they told me?

"We don't adopt our pets out on a first-come, first-served basis. We wait until we have several applications for one animal so that we can choose the best possible home."

While that may sound good in theory, how long do they plan to let an animal languish in a cage while they wait for more than one person to express an interest in him?!

I am absolutely outraged.

It does, indeed. Makes me wonder if they found my app lacking, but then just effing tell me.

Ugh. Technically a good idea but really wtf! They should just visit you at home and see how happy your cats are!>:/
