My Nonprofit Reviews

Two months ago I submitted an application for a beautiful Little kitten, the first I’d seen who really felt right after I lost mine of 20 years.

Two weeks after applying, I heard nothing and sent an email. No response. A week later I called, no answer. A few days after this I received a call back from the Main woman who was initially very kind. She mentioned having seen my app weeks before and said I sounded like a great fit. Then she told me the kitten had been put into a foster that weekend -again 3 weeks after my initial application showing interest. I was then told that I could meet her the next day and do a formal interview. I was thrilled, despite how long the process had taken and how difficult it had been up to this point.

The next day, I never hear from the main woman with the address so I call her. She answers but is abrupt and tells me she doesn’t have time for this but to call her later. Later I call again and She tells me the foster loved the kitten so much that she’s decided to adopt her but “I advised the foster that it’s her job to foster and not hoard cats, so we’ll give her two days to make a decision.” So I said ok and waited. Never heard back at all, even called with no answer.

Flash forward to last week, again two months. After my initial apps and more than a month after her being “adopted” I get an email from the main woman saying the same kitten is available if anyone wants her. I replied to confirm, and yes the foster had changed her mind. I was very angry and already traumatized from my initial negative experience of being given hope then ignored, but I went against my gut and started conversations about this kitten again. This time with both the foster and the rescue woman. They went so far as to check my references and call my last vets, only to not contact me once again, after days of waiting.

I just texted the foster to be told that the kitten was adopted out this weekend, they had to do it urgently as she couldn’t keep her in the home anymore. And despite all the effort they put in with me, despite their past abuses of my time and inconsiderate actions in how they dealt with me as a potential adopter, despite having already checked my references, I wasn’t even told this was happening. I guess they had plenty of time to play games with me as a potential for more than two months, but not enough time to actually give me the consideration or care to follow through.

The main woman, her fosters and the entire rescue have no real interest in adopting out these kitties. They just cause potential adopters trauma and heartbreak. She’s too busy to do the job right or give you the care you deserve through the process. Absolutely do not recommend putting yourself through their hoops and manipulations. This was horrific and heartbreaking.
