Why was it a "horribly jerkish thing to say"?
Pets should only be owned by responsible people. Do you know how many cats and dogs get put down on a daily basis because their owners suddenly decide that they've outgrown their cute kitten or puppy phase?

When you decide to adopt an animal, you should look at it as a long-term committment. They're not toys, and can't just be discarded at the drop of a hat. Animals get sick, and require lots of love and attention. You need time and money to be able to do that. Anyone who's seen me with my cats knows that i'd do anything for them and take the responsibility of being a pet owner very seriously. I've donated hundreds of hours to Orphan Kitten Rescue and know that they wouldn't let Jovi adopt one of their kittens.

So you give me bad karma for not wanting to mince words and come straight out and tell someone that I don't think they're responsible enough to adopt my kittens? Get bent.

^ Yes, I know that the SPCA supposedly has a new no kill policy. They still find reasons to put animals down due to "health" reasons, though.

^ Yes.
But the best solution would be for people to get their pets spayed or neutered and only adopt pets they could afford to take care of in the first place.

I just want them to go to a stable home with people who will have enough time and love for them. Is that too much to ask?

One of Tony's brother's went to a home with another cat and a dog. Jim went to visit last week and told me he was thriving.

Another sibling went to two little girls. 4 and 6 years old. They were so happy to have a kitty to call their very own!

The other two kitties were given to a little boy for his tenth birthday. The mother emailed me to tell me that her children love them and that she would keep in touch with updates on how they are doing.

I'd keep them myself If I could, but I can't because I know that i'm not able to make that sort of committment at this time.

If you know of anyone who'd be interested in adopting this little guy, or his mother, or both, please PM me, or contact www.orphankittenrescue.com.
I'm just trying to get the word out.
I wasn't asking a bunch of teenagers if they wanted kittens.

^ hello?
I'm assuming that most people on this board have family members or at least know people over the age of 25.
*rolls eyes*

I don't have the internet at my new place yet (in case anyone was wondering about this late reply).

I didn't mention anything about dying people.

Have you saved a dying person lately?
Have you helped a sick person out lately?

I deal with death and dying on a regular basis. I watched someone die in front of me at the hospital a few weeks ago. WTF does that have to do with me trying to find a place for my kitten and fulfill the responsibility I agreed to take on when I volunteered in the first place?

And before you start yammering on and on about having a responsibility towards the dying people in this world, I do it on a regular (soon-to-be-daily) basis ok, so STFU.

let me clarify something:

not jerkish = wanting your cat to go to a good home. not mincing your words and saying stuff straight up.

jerkish = declaring on a public board for all to see that this person is not going to get your cat because you don't think their home is good enough. that should be done in private. this is why you got the bad karma. PM her, email her, phone her, i don't care...just don't put it for all to see. what's the point of that?

so no, i won't get bent.

i kinda have to give some support to diva here, animals are little kids, they need love, attention, care both by the owner and a vet, a safe and stable home and intense amount of time.
the hardest thing i had to do was give away my dog when i was 12 cause he got too big for the place we were living, but i understood that we couldnt offer him the home he needed.
another experience - in ym old complex ther was a dog that got beaten on a regular basis. it was horrendous and we called the animal shelter numerous times, nothing seemed to happen. it was a german shepard. i was delivering papers one day (i was 10) and the dog attacked me. my borther ended up pulling it off of me and i ran home. we filed a police report and found out it had attacked some other kids, and it had to be put to sleep. this killed me inside, because it was the owners negligence and brutality that made the dog attack me.
yes that was not about some kitty, and im not saying anyone is going to beat a kitty, but it shows that animals need care and love just to grow properly. ther has been days where my dog or cats have been sick and i hae had to spend days at home taking care of them because they couldnt be left alone. i gauruntee my pets wouldnt be the same if they didnt have the home they have. they said my first cat was due to die because he was too small to be away from his mom (he had been left on the doorstep of the pet store) we gave him milk throgh a surrenge (sp) boosted his weight and hes still rocking in the free world 10 years later - but that was a month of constant care.
like i said animals are kids, lots of love is easily given out. time, care (both medically and by the owner) and a safe and stable home are a neccesity. alot of people have some sort of feeling that cats are independent animals and you can leave them alone for 10 hours while youre at work or goin out, but you cant.

id just like to end with the fact that im not trying to judge\assume\point fingers\say that anyone is a bad kitty parent, just pointing out that it takes alot.
diva your an amazing person for what you do.

^i'm not saying anything bad about taking care of cute kittens and putting them with nice people and letting them have happy healthy lives. that's awesome. i have two cats at home and i love them and wouldn't want anything bad to happen.

that's not the problem i had with this diva girl, at all.

like i said before, the only problem i had was that she publicly declared something that would best have been declared in private, just for the sake of being courteous to that other person. there's no point in allowing everyone to see information like that except to embarras and anger the other person.

rock on for saving kittens. i fully support that.

STFU? wow you're a real biatch who doesn't even know me. i do my part to help hungry people, spent the whole summer in africa, and raise money for caribbean charities(hurrican Ivan). unlike u i don't get paid for it sadly. but i guess i should keep my comments to myself, even IF people post on a public forum. haha plus i only stated that comment for shits and giggles. turn the hate down.
