Apparently, I missed the original post. What is going wrong at petsmart? I
foster kittens for a no-kill organization that displays their animals at
Petsmart during the week. We screen potential owners and ask all adopters to
contact us if their is any sort of problem. Given the fact that we have been
contacted in a few instances, I'd like to think that people are not paying lots
of money for our kitties and then taking them to the humane society.

Myself and at least one of the other foster parents have been taking special
interest and talking personally with those who are interested in adopting our
babies. I feel really good about where my little ones have gone. We are doing
our best to make adoption a group effort and if someone doesn't feel good about
it, the cat stays with us.
