Was asked to call her after inquiring about two kittens for adoption for our kids, and because I know some rescues are wary of adopting to families with small children, I let her know my children are around animals at a farm that we keep our horses at, so they know appropriate vs inappropriate behavior around animals.
We own our own home almost an hour from said farm, and would never have outdoor cats of our own, but the only thing she would speak about (not our home or how we've prepared to adopt kittens) we're the cats at the barn that I do not own or have any control over - she wanted me to make sure all of the cats that do not belong to me were fixed & vaccinated before she would even speak to me, which was very odd. When I told her I don't have an ounce of control over someone else's cats, she told me that if I cared about cats at all, I would make sure they get fixed and vaccinated.
It's creepy, invasive, and I'm utterly appalled at the way this woman spoke to me. Don't expect to adopt from here if you know of any animals that exist outside of your home.
