Hello all,
I while ago I told everyone here that I had lost my old cat Twizzel and that I really wanted a new cat to care for, unfortunate because it wasn't the season there were barely any kittens available.
Yesterday I found an offer on an online auction site (people also offer animals here for adoption) a very sweet looking kitten whose temporary owners/caretakers were looking a home for.
Because he reminded me a little of Twizzel I wanted to adopt so I sent them an Email asking if they still had the cat, I later got a telephone call from a woman with which I had a discussion, I told her that I had lost my own cat and really wanted to adopt the kitten she offered.
The only problem was that she lived in a small town some distance from the city where I live, because I have no car of my own I asked her if she could bring the cat to me and that I would refund the gas costs, that apparently was a problem as she didn't exactly knew the street where I lived.
Because she had to go somewhere she asked me if she could call me back later, in the meantime I would try to find someone with a car who could drive me to her house.
Not much luck there so I hoped she would call back and that we could find some kind of solution, I never got a message; a telephone call or Email back from her.
I find this rather insulting, I made it clear I really wanted that kitten and that I was willing to pay back any costs she had to make to get the cat here and this is how I got treated.
I don't have much patience with people in general and when I get an example like this it really pisses me off.
