Kitten Nazis

Seinfeld should have done a show on Kitten Nazis. You would think that adopting a kitten would be a simple enough thing, right? Wrong. I'm not sure where or how one would buy crack, but I'm positive that I could've gotten some faster than we have been able to adopt a kitten.

First of all, these animals have been taken from the high kill shelters by the rescue organizations. They advertise that they are overflowing with kittens and need help. Seems simple enough. We can provide a good home, they have kittens that need homes. However, if you look into the adoption process, you will be shocked at the level of scrutiny that they put into placing these animals that would have been otherwise euthanized. Not only are most of the applications 4 or 5 pages long, but they do things like phone interviews, then a face to face interview and then a home visit. They ask for income information. However, if you work, they don't want to adopt to you. Where would the income be coming from then if I didn't work???If you own your home, they want to see your deed (WTF??). If you have an HOA, they want to see the HOA documents. I've never even seen my HOA documents, what makes them think they need to see them.

Then, if you get by all of this BS, then they inform you that they will not adopt a single kitten. You must take 2 unless you have another cat in the house under 6 months old. If you protest, they email or give you a packet of information that basically tells you that you are the root of all evil because you ever considered getting a single kitten. You will make them depressed and suicidal, aggressive and destroy your home. Forget about the fact that all of the cats you have ever had were raised as a single kitten and everyone else in your family's was as well. You must be lying about them all being well adjusted. In actuality, you came home one day and your kitten had stabbed itself in the chest because it just couldn't take it anymore without another member of the litter. I guess the part where the cat you currently have hating the new kitten is not important to them.

So for the 3rd weekend in a row we have gone to the pet adoption fairs in NOVA and still don't have a kitten. We went to one in Falls Church this past weekend and I had asked all of the questions that I needed to prior to driving all the way there to rule out the Kitten Nazis and found one that did same day pet adoptions. However, once again we are told No kitten for you! Right at that exact same time, these two dipshit college looking girls were walking out with one. They reeked of smoke and were pounding Red Bull. Yeah, these people are just the type to provide a stable, healthy environment for pets. The cat will have lung cancer and then get dumped off when they move to another apartment and can't have a pet. That would be much better for the animal.

What the fuck is wrong with society?
