I’ve been trying for awhile to adopt a cat, the first one, I’ll call D was a very sweet boy who was being housed by the pet store I work at, I had my eyes on him since he was brought there and I absolutely fell in love with him. I’d see him every shift and I became really attached, so I contacted the shelter he was associated with after I spoke to my managers about my intent to adopt and never heard anything back for a few days. I called the shelter to ask some health/diet questions about him and asked if I could set up an appointment to formally meet that cat. I was redirected to email another person and when I did, I didn’t receive a response. Then D’s profile was taken down off the shelter website and his sheet said that he’d been adopted. I only got a response two days later that he had been adopted and I was frustrated that after all the work I put in over the course of two weeks led to nothing. After D, I found another cat from the same shelter I’ll call B, B was special so I knew people were going to want him, I put in my adoption application the same day his profile was posted and didn’t receive a response, I talked to the shelter volunteers at my work about my interest in adopting him and I emailed again to ask more questions about B. Then it happened again and B’s profile was removed from the shelter website, the shelter still hasn’t gotten back to me about him and I’m at a loss. I tried to take my time and be patient with the shelter with D and lost out because I was too slow but I thought I did everything right to get B and losing out on him hurt just as hard. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I’ve already got a space set up for the cat, I’ve talked to the volunteers, called the shelter, sent my applications, emailed them, but I still lost out on both of them and I don’t know what else I’m supposed to do. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong and it’s beyond frustrating.
