Well I volunteer at this cat rescue. There is one cat there that I have fallen head over heels over. I love all the cats I socialize but he is the one that melts my heart. We just moved and planning on moving again in a couple months time so we want to wait till after the move to turn in the adoption application.
Now the rescue has some requirements. The cat needs to be indoors only and never declawed. I'm good to go on both. I need a 3 year vet reference. I only have a 2 year history but I've already been told that they could make an exception because I am a volunteer and by the time I turn my application in, I'd be helping out for close to 7 months.
The only thing that's been bugging me is when I was talking to his foster parent, she told me I would probably get rejected because I already have too many animals. I have 3 cats, 3 rabbits and 3 rats. The person in charge of the location has 7 to 10 cats herself with fosters included. The rats are all in 1 cage, taking up no space at all. It'll be a 2 bedroom townhouse and human-wise it'll only be me and my boyfriend. She knows this and clarified this before she gave me her answer.
Do you think I have too many animals? It's going to bug me and break my heart if the only reason I can't bring him home is because I have a medium number of animals. I know a lot of you foster and do rescues. Would you deny me just for that fact even though everything else is fine?
