No FREE Kittens...Pass It ON...please


I was driving around town yesterday and saw a "FREE" Kittens sign. Please remind people if you see this to not do this. Snake owners use them for food. And Pitt Bull trainers like to get free kittens to train the dogs to fight in certain dog fighting circles. Or they are used as bait.

Even charging $10 is a deterrent for someone getting them for food, or you can discuss the reason? Ask probing questions To see their reaction. This is a living creature you are giving away. Don't feel guilty about making the person prove they are a worthy adopter

When me and my friend stopped to rescue the kittens (we were gonna foster them and bring them to the Humane Society) my friend pointed out, after the lady said she just gave the last one away, that it would have been MORE suspicious if someone had wanted all of them at once. She said she gave 1 away at a time and the people seemed nice. Well, I'm sure it was okay, but, FREE snake food is an incentive to be nice and lie. These little ones are relying on you. Please pass this info on. Thanks.

Agree.

I am in animal rescue. Even if you charge people $25.00/kitten they will still abuse it. Some people get off on it.

"What is TRUTH?"
I WANT AN ErJen1 SIGNATURE, ALSO.

Unfortunately even the so-called Humane Society has fed kittens and puppies to snakes.
People give them away for free because some may be more likely to then take one. We need to work on better getting the word out about spaying and neutering so accidents won't so often happen.
More communities need to offer the service free of charge.

Wow, I never even would have thought of something like this. Thanks for bringing it up and raising consciousness.

Free roaming cats is an ecological disaster here in North America.

We don't advertise our fosters on Craigslist for this reason. Also, I have read a lot of times men send their girlfriends to pick up the animals so the "nice" person taking the animal may not be the person who ultimately has the animal.

Have a nice day! 

I've never heard of the use of girlfriend angle to get the kittens. Despicable.
