[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  I realize what I wrote was very petulant and full of butt hurt and I apologize.  I continue to financially support a few DC rescue groups that I respect, because I appreciate what they do is valuable and difficult.

Weirdly, one of these groups is one that I cited in my OP, the one with the bait/switch, 2-cat minimum that wasn't mentioned to me until pickup day.  That came down to the poor decision of one individual and I realize a group with a good mission is bigger than any individual.

But.  I'm being truthful about all the $h!t I've dealt with during multiple adoption attempts, both for cats and dogs.  I'm not being "dramatic."  I[b] am a near-perfect dog and cat owner due to my experience,[/b] flexibility, fenced yard, financial and job situation (and lack of small children :).

Thinking about it some more, and taking certain PPs comments to heart, I think the problem on my end is that I do have a handful of non-negotiable requirements for adopting a dog OR a cat.  I don't just show up and the shelter and say "Just give me what you've got today, thanks."  That would certainly make things simpler, like some PPs examples suggest.

Apparently, there are differing opinions no that.  A little self-reflection might be in order.  [/quote]
