Too many animals to adopt to?
Hi all, I’ve been trying to find feedback on this online, but haven’t had much luck in finding conversations from those who volunteer at shelters vs the general population.
I currently have four cats, previously had five, who I lost to cancer. I am single, childfree, rent a two bedroom apartment where my landlord lets me make modifications to put cat platforms everywhere, and I am the quintessential cat lady.
My time, money, and resources goes to spoiling my babies, and I often want to adopt another one or two cats, but obviously talk myself out of it due to having quite a few already. My boys are however all mellow, neutered, and get along like a house on fire. I have had zero issues requiring separation or even considering rehoming. When I get the urge to add to my cat family, I try to funnel it into a small donation to my local shelters.
My major question: Has a potential adopter ever met your qualifications, but had to be turned away due to how many pets they already have? Is there a “limit” on pet adoptions to a single person to be considered?
Or if the person had the time, energy, and resources, are they still a viable candidate for adoption?
