Animal Rescue

Arggghhh! VENT BLOG TONIGHT!

If you were to adopt an animal from a rescue organization. Would you want to know as much history as possible? Would you not want to know what surgeries, medical problems and vaccinations it's had.

Tonight while looking on an online garage sale I see a picture of a kitten that looks very familiar. It looks like a kitten that I know and grew fond of after fostering for weeks. This kitten was being given away because they were "unable to litter train him". But little do these owners know, this kitten has a medical problem, I know that because I was the one who gave him medicine, who looked after him and who took him to his doctors appointments. He was already returned by one home because his medical problem caused him to dribble pee without knowing it. We were well aware at this point that he needed to be given to a farm home to be an outdoor only cat. Well the next day he was adopted by an indoor home, and aparantley they were not made aware of his condition.

This frustrates me to know end. Are they not telling people about behavioral issues of dogs that have bitten kids or cats. Are they not telling people about kittens who were very sick as babies. Are they not making people aware that their new pet was not properly vaccinated as a puppy or kitten. It is your pet and it is your right to all this information.

I will not be adopting another pet from this organization.
