Before Christmas my fiancé took me to the local (and only) animal shelter to look for a kitten. Every time we would call an ad in the paper the kittens had already been given away so this shelter was our last option.
We filled out paper work for a cat and the lady said in about a week it would be ready to go. The address we put down was his parents house, and we did not write down their home number. Instead we put our cell number since we are trying to move into a new house and are kind of busy.
Weeks pass and no phone call. I started to worry because it was only a couple of days before x-mas and that was going to be my only present. Today on Christmas we went to his parents house for dinner and they told us the animal shelter called. Since they were not at home when they called they missed the call. Just one phone call, and no message.
The thing that is bothering me besides the fact that we were willing to shell out 65 dollars for an animal that was not fixed and did not have shots is how did they find his parents home number? Also If they are so willing to help these animals out, why did they call only once and not leave a message? Why did they not email us? Why did they not call our cell phone?!
It made me so angry that I emailed them and gave them a piece of my mind. I think its ridiculous that they do not take their job seriously enough to help find homes for their animals. We even called twice and no one answered.
I hate depending on lazy people. I also hate getting my hopes up and then stupid little things let them down. Thats basically what 2006 has been all about.
I'm sure some of you can relate...
