That’s pretty standard to wait until they’re big enough but the pairing part does suck. I wonder if they do that because they are so full ? I’m sorry youre in this situation. When I saw your post I was under the impression you weren’t going to keep it . If you wanted to keep him you should’ve just taken him to the vet to get seen to make sure he was okay , then fed and kept him🥺 I think anytime you call a rescue to help with saving an animal you’d have to be put through the same process of adopting like any other person would have to go through .
