Entitled Potential Pet Owner Berates Shelter Volunteer After Learning The Cat They Saw Year Ago Has Already Been Adopted

by Chelsi

Not even animal shelters are safe from the maliciousness of entitled people. Animals who are just looking for their forever homes are subjected to people who haven't been told "No" enough times in their lives.

Oh, the stories shelter volunteers can tell! A shelter volunteer did just that after a brief interaction with an aspiring cat owner via social media.

The prospective cat owner introduced themself as someone who visited the shelter the previous year. They said their friend adopted a short-tailed cat named Mimi.

The shelter volunteer asked if everything was okay with Mimi and to say hi to the cat for her. They then asked the shelter volunteer if she was still affiliated with the organization as they were looking for a specific cat.

They said they wanted to buy a fluffy, black cat named Leo they saw when their friend adopted Mimi. They weren't able to adopt Leo at the same time and have been regretting it ever since.

Unfortunately for the adopter, Leo already found his forever home. The shelter volunteer said the adopter could still stop by the shelter.

The adopter kept pressing that it was Leo they wanted. They weren't willing to settle for another cat.

The adopter mentioned that their friend already paid $1,500 for Mimi. They should be able to adopt Leo for free.

The adopter even suggested that the shelter volunteer kept the adoption fees for herself instead of spending it on the animals. "Get a real job," the entitled adopter said.

Unimpressed by the conversation, the shelter volunteer ended the chat

If they really wanted Leo, what stopped them from adopting him? Wouldn't it be sad if Leo had been there for a whole year?

There were so many ways to inquire about a specific animal you wanted to adopt without the conversation ending like this. Demanding that the volunteer take Leo from the family that adopted him because choosing beggar wants him more is beyond ridiculous.

That's great news for Mimi! I wonder if Mimi's owner knows her friend behaved this way. I don't think she would approve of their entitlement.

They are misguided for sure. They can't seem to understand the concept of a cat they saw a year ago already having an owner.

Their whining didn't work. Oh, I know, let me harass a volunteer about getting a real job. Then, I can imply that they are misappropriating funds to add to their income. Maybe they will then give me the cat that I want. Brilliant.

It makes you think why this aspiring pet owner isn't willing to go through the proper process of adopting an animal. They were even talking about their friend's credentials instead of their own.

They really thought an animal shelter is like a store where all breeds are available to you as long as you have money or audacity

It's CB who needs to get a real job if they have this much time to complain about a non-profit organization when they won't give in to their unreasonable demands

The CB should thank the shelter volunteer for not putting them on a permanent "Do not adopt to" list after that conversation. Fortunately, Leo was adopted by someone worthy of him instead of this entitled person who doesn't seem to have the characteristics of a good pet owner.
