[quote=Anonymous]If you go to a shelter, you will in all likelihood be able to adopt a pet on the spot. If you go through a rescue group, the process can be more onerous. That's due to a number of functions. It's not what those in more progressive animal welfare/rescue circles would say is best practices: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/animalia/wp/2018/02/02/millions-of-dogs-need-homes-why-is-it-sometimes-hard-to-adopt-one/ (That piece is about dogs, but the same principles apply.) Anyway, I am sorry that the rescue group is making this a difficult process. There are reasons for it - good and bad reasons. Go to a shelter, if you want to bring home a cat today - or an adoption fair at PetSmart or another venue. It's great you are adopting. Shelters are very full this time of year and really need your help.[/quote]
