Does anyone here think that if shelters were a bit more lenient with potential adopters requirements, that more people would be willing to adopt from them? My friend just called me upset with the fact she was unable to adopt a cat from our local shelter. The interviewer felt that she didn't meet the requirements necessary to adopt a kitten. Truly I don't understand this. She is employed, has her own 1 bedroom apartment and this will be an indoor cat. Is there more that a cat needs other then food, shelter and love? I mean wouldn't this be a better alternative then a cat being housed in a small cage until a worthy adopter comes along IDK I just think that the criteria is a bit excessive. She's decided to just go to the pet store and get one. If this were a puppy then I'd understand (a bit more).

Your Thoughts?
