A pet store out here solicits on craigslist and says that they'll take in your unwanted cats, etc. They wound up with four tiny babies that needed to be bottlefed and they had no clue what to do with them. We drove down there to take them in, and when we said we were there to pick them up, the manager suggested we should look at them first to make sure we'd like them. To us, it didn't matter if they were sick or healthy, what color they were, etc. We just wanted to get them out of there, get food in their bellies, and take care of them. After we got home, my sister started an intense post war with them on CL and they said that if they'd known what "kind of people" were taking the kittens, they wouldn't have let us.

A year later, they're still soliciting cats on craigslist then selling them at their pet store without shots, etc. One of the kittens we took in was too sick and didn't make it, one kitten was adopted, and I have two gorgeous adult black cats that nobody wants to adopt. But they're healthy, well-fed, and available for adoption with a no-kill cat rescue.
