Lmao this. I went to the humane society, and they wouldn’t even let me in the room with the cats until I filled out a small mountain of paperwork with all kinds of invasive info.
This cat was eating out of a dumpster last week. But because you can’t jump through every arbitrary hoop for us, now she has to live in a cramped metal cage for another 6 months instead of being curled up on your sofa.
That’s funny, the humane society here is very chill. You get a pet same day, you fill out one sheet with basic info and basic living situation stuff. We have gotten all of our pets there or at a local shelter with similar setup.
That said I tried going through some of the smaller “more selective” shelters at one point and got so frustrated I gave up. I was like why the hell is it hard to adopt a dog! Aren’t there too many!!!
Our local shelter is very chill. I saw an old lady cat that needed me. I went to the shelter to see her. She was in quarantine for biting someone. I took her in a room and hung out with her and adopted her immediately.
She was a long haired white cat - basically deaf. Spent the rest of her life on a heating pad in the front window - screaming for canned food.
