We always joke around that it would probably be easier to adopt a human baby than to get a dog/cat out of our shelter! We actually turn down people all the time. We've had people yell at the adoption counselors and throw fits when they are turned down. Nothing surprises us anymore... Can you imagine a person coming in and saying that the coyotes keep killing their cats and they want another one... or how about giving us the biggest cat you have so he has a better chance of fighting off the coyotes! Oh sure... no problems, how about 2 cats then you can have a backup????

And the longer you do it, the more you worry. Frankly, my little group (5 of us) are all pretty much at the point that we hardly dare adopt any out any more, but we feel guilty because we don't want the cats we have to be stressed by overcrowding, and we hate not to have room to rescue more. It's a dilemma, but I don't want them coming back when I'm 70 or 75 years old, so I try to be extra particular up front.
