    The fact that they said, “Must be in mint condition.” Is pretty concerning. Who says that about a pet?

    Person posts funny in funny community. Because it’s funny. In a funny way.

    Turns out that there’s not enough virtue signaling in the world.

    Paying money to adopt an animal (beyond vet fees or similar health maintenance) seems insane to me. Don’t participate in the commercialization of animals.

      Tbf the $10 is more so some crazy doesn’t scoop up a box of free kittens

      Most places where I am located charge adoption fees etc (they go back to shelter for costs etc) to ensure whoever is adopting the animal is serious

      By being a real person (not creepy and no nefarious purposes) most places and people will happily waive the fee to get the pet in the right home

        Some places won’t allow any adoptions for a few days before Halloween. The one in a town over didn’t let anyone adopt black cats for like 2 weeks in October.

        Falls under “or similar health maintenance.”

        The $10 is from someone trying to buy the kitten, which on its own is very suspicious.

        My money would be on them feeding it to something.

      Then how are animal shelters like the Humane Society supposed to get the funding needed to exist?

      The $10 “price” can easily be viewed as the fee. My rescue dog from the shelter was around $170 $90 I think. My friends bought a purebred dog for around $5,000. I agree with you, but I don’t this his is an example of that.

      Edit: Asked my wife what the price was.
