JD:
Whoa that's a unusual kitten right there
Scandanavian War Machine:
my roomates and I just tried to adopt an adorable little kitty with two different-colored eyes but they denied us because the "humane" society is just a front for cat-eating aliens: they pretend to want to give them to people but then they make you fill out a ridiculous application and pay money only so they can ultimately deny your request and enjoy all the delicious kittens for themselves.
fucking assholes, you're just going to kill it anyway! Give it me so I can feed it and love it and it won't die immediately!
MOTHERFUCKERS
Jace:
That is one of the things I really hate about some shelters. I don't want to pay like $250 to get a dog, I already have to pay money to buy stuff so that my house can accomodate the dog, don't make me also pay you money for me to keep this dog from dying.
Inlander:
I think most shelters probably charge more for kittens and puppies than they do for older dogs, just to try to encourage people to adopt an older animal which isn't as cute and as immediately appealing as a kitten or a puppy. When I adopted Hedda she was about 8 months old, which is still very young but no longer a kitten. When I arrived at the shelter on the day I got her there was a queue of cars full of people waiting for them to open up, and literally everybody - including me - rushed straight to the kitten room. I didn't see any kittens I particularly liked so I took a punt on the older cats and found Hedda pretty much instantly. Adoption prices at the shelter I got her from are A$80 for a kitten but only A$65 for an older cat, and that includes desexing, microchipping, worming, defleaing and vaccinations.
Plus, do you guys have any idea how many animals animal shelters have to deal with, especially in a city? The shelter I got Hedda from deals with around 16,000 cats a year. 16,000 a year. Just think about that. You can't deal with that many animals on love and kindness alone, it costs money.
