"wants to declaw the cat"
-
Overall, we think that adoption requests should be accepted. We think that owning a cat is one of the best things that humans can do for themselves - and for their cats. But there are exceptions, and this is very obviously one of them. Getting a bad review over something like this wouldn't even feel bad. Declawing is one of the worst things that you can do to a cat - something with very long term consequences. The fact that this person so shamelessly told the shelter that she was going to do it either meant that she didn't know how bad what she was talking about was or she didn't care. And both options are bad enough to deny her adoption request.

We truly do think that there are a lot of people out there who don't know how bad declawing a cat actually is. It is not a concept that you come across very often. It's not widespread knowledge. We think, personally, that one of the things that we have to do, as people who are aware, is to explain it to other people. It doesn't have to be everyone, and it doesn't have to be forced, but if someone is talking about adopting a cat and worrying about the cat scratching things, declawing should be something that they know they are not supposed to do. Educate them. It will save some cat's lives.

Cat shelter fires back at bad review, defending their decision to deny adoption to a woman who openly admitted that she was planning to declaw the cat : 'We feel that was an appropriate response to your application'
Leaving a bad review for a cat shelter is one of the pettiest things you can do.
Cat shelters are the cornerstone of the cat community. Beyond the obvious adoption services and foster programs, cat shelters provide a safe home for stray, abandoned, or surrendered cats who have nowhere else to go. Cat shelters offer medical care - checkups, vaccinations and other treatments that cats desperately need and don't always have access to. At the end of the day, healthy cats are more adoptable and more likely to find homes. Cat shelters help cats socialize with humans and other cats alike, getting them used to the idea of living indoors, where it's safer.
Shelters look for people to adopt cats. That's one of their main missions. They want the kitties that they have there to be there as little time as possible - so that there is space for more kitties who need help. A shelter refusing an adoption request is not something to be treated likely. Generally, if they go as far as denying a request, they are doing it for an actual reason. And there was certainly a very good reason to deny this woman's request. Her leaving a bad review for the shelter was either ignorant or petty.
