A New Orleans woman says three animal shelters refused to allow her to adopt a cat after she told them she couldn’t promise the animal would never go outside.
Jennifer Walters owns Riverbed Stables in New Orleans. She has two horses and she is currently boarding 23 animals. And loves cats.
But Jennifer was denied a cat adoption by three separate animal shelters.
“I told her I couldn’t lie. I couldn’t promise that the cat would never go outside,” said Walters.
“It’s a natural instinct for them to want to go outside and we do not feel like they should be restricted. Plus, if there’s animals in other shelters being euthanized because they do not have enough room, then why not let somebody adopt an animal that wants to be outside,” said adoptions counselor Jacqie Bella with the St. Tammany Humane Society.
