I’m all for pet rescues but that particular one is overly picky. They have some crazy expectations and requirements. Someone I know who SPOILS THE SHIT out of all the cats she’s ever had was denied by them because she previously had a cat she allowed to go outside (when they lived on a big piece of land away from roads). It’s gotten to the point that I tell people to avoid that group when looking to adopt a cat. It’s a shame, but it’s true.

Then I guess that’s it, I won’t be getting them back ever. I live on 3 acres and my pets are outside animals

It’s because they don’t want these animals back on the streets again . Whether they live on land or not they can end up by roads . What’s not to understand about that ? A lot of people don’t believe ANY animal should be left outside , even cats .

I understand that. All of it. I have 2 cats and a dog. I don’t let either of my cats out. Ever. I’m just saying that to deny someone a cat because 10+ years ago they let a cat out sometimes (and that cat lived to be 15!) is a little much.

Oh gotcha when you said previously I didn’t realize it was THAT long ago. Yeah that’s a bit much.
