As the person who decides if you get a kitty from the humane society here or not - I know a lot of people hate me. I've actually been physically attacked by someone who I declined to adopt. We check an application, and sometimes people get declined.
I am not going to jump on & say anything (make a judgement), because they may have had a valid reason to decline him. Every shelter, rescue, humane society, or impound facility is different - some places you walk in, point to the one you want, & you're out the door. He may have done something that may have trigger a 'no' response from the staff - there are certain things that will set of some kitties here - and if someone interested in adopting that cat does that specific thing - they will be declined (for that specific pet).
I agree with mrblanche that some people when they come in just give me bad vibes...although it is *very* important to ignore those vibes & process an application. Many times it's nothing....but I've had times where they were valid.
Processing applications, deciding who gets to adopt & who doesn't, is not an easy task.
