I mentioned in my intro thread that I am adopting a new cat soon, after she is spayed. Anyway, one of my good friends decided to adopt my new cat's kitten. Since my friend is not local, I went and picked the kitten up at his foster home yesterday and filled out her paperwork from the rescue. I was a little upset to see that the rescue requires all cats to wear a collar with ID and rabies tags - I've never had my cats wear collars and have had ZERO issues with them getting out. Regardless of your feelings on that issue, those are mine (and probably a lot of other people's).
Anyway, I'm upset now. I don't want my new cat to wear a collar, I don't see it as necessary, and I think it distracts from their beauty and even with breakaway collars, they can be dangerous. If I lie on the adoption form, well, I'm lying, and if I don't, they won't adopt to me. And she needs a home badly - she's going to have a hard time finding someone willing to work with her - she's already been returned twice. What would you do?
(I am Facebook friends with her foster mom, so if I put up pictures of her not wearing a collar...I am afraid they will take her back)
