My friend very badly has been wanting to give an 8 year old shelter cat named Odessa a good home. He has the money and has everything the cat needs. He doesn't own a car but took the bus today to go get interviewed so he can get the cat. They wouldn't let him touch the cat at all as it's "strictly not allowed", which I find to be bogus because how can you possibly know if a cat is the right one if you cannot pet it?
Either way, they automatically rejected him at the interview because he "couldn't name a humane vet", and they WOULD NOT recommend one.
I find this to be completely insane and unfair because they didn't say over the phone to him what they would need to know during the interview or anything of the sort. And now he is insanely bummed out because he wanted that cat so bad. He was even looking at vets in the area but didn't think he needed to remember their names for the interview.
Is this how shelters run things? It sounds like a scam.
