So, in the past 5 months we have had ONE family surrender 12 cats, which became 23 when two of them gave birth... Last night Dave's mother and I went out to dinner after Bingo. Who do we run into? Most of the family. They had been calling us since we took the group of 9 two weeks ago but because Dave's mom had a feeling that the purpose of the call was to say that they wanted the kittens back, so we didn't return the call immediately. Last night at the restaurant the oldest woman proceeded to tell us that one of her cats is dying of a bleeding rectum and she really wants this particular kitten back, and her daughter flipped out after the kittens left and went into super depression for three days, still isn't normal and she wants another kitten back.
*sigh* We told her that it would be two months before they could go anywhere, it's our policy, we don't adopt out kittens until they have been spayed or neutered, not even to the people who surrendered them. Our goal is to bring the unwanted kitten population down. "She won't want it in two months, she likes the kitten stage." was what she said to us.
I will never understand people.
