[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They want to make sure you actually want a pet, know what you're getting into, and aren't a total moron. People do horrible, cruel, or stupid things to animals. And even those that don't, adopting a cat and then deciding a week later that you really didn't want it and are taking it back is really hard on the animal and wastes shelter resources. I think it's good that they thoroughly screen applicants. [/quote]

This. So far my experience is that the rescue / shelter claims that there are these requirements, but when I showed up (for instance) with a carrier in my car and was on the phone to my vet seeing if I could make an appointment for a new kitty, I was sent home with him that night.[/quote]

Yes, but they need to be reasonable, especially if it's a shelter that can't take care of the pets it has without putting some of them down.  I had one shelter turn me down for a cat because I had a child under the age of  2.  That's really unreasonable.[/quote]
