I adopted 2 kittens. The first one, I picked up and instantly fell in love with. He was so friendly and chill. I also chose another friendly girl. They held the cats for 1 day while I bought all supplies.
The next day the shelter was crazy busy. They essentially threw the 2 cats into a carrier and sent me on my way. The girl adjusted really easily but the boy is still scared and doesn't like to be pet. I have spent the last 3 weeks wondering why the boy was nothing like how he was at the shelter. What happened was a volunteer mixed up the cats and sent me home with the wrong brother. They looked so similar I had no reason to believe it was the wrong cat- I thought I was just doing something wrong with him and that he didn't like me.
They sent me the correct microchip number without telling me about their mistake. Then they adopted out the brother. Once I realized I sent them an email, but there is nothing they can do. I'm heartbroken for the cat that I fell in love with, and I'm resenting this cat for not being him. I know that's terrible, and I don't think I have the heart to take him away from his new sister but I really just don't know how to get over it. It's almost been a month, he still hates being pet, we haven't bonded, and I'm constantly thinking about what could have been.
