The takedown of this ‘purebred cat’ adoption request is a proper hall of famer

Poke Staff. Updated April 6th, 2022

The response to this person who wanted to adopt a ‘purebred’ cat because they don’t like ‘mixed breeds for aesthetic reasons’ has just gone viral on Reddit all over again.

And it’s a proper hall of famer.

Boom.

‘I love that they responded the way they did. It’s a shelter not a fucking breeder. People are so entitled. Cats live their entire lives in shelters sometimes and it’s all they know. It’s so sad to see.’

‘Who are all these people making demands for ‘pure’ breeds? I would be happy with ANY cat of ANY mix as long as it is floofy.’

‘Wait but you chose pets based on character and color schemes and stuff right? Can someone explain why them wanting their pet to look a certain way is frowned upon? Genuine question.’

‘The phrase “mixed breed for aesthetic reasons” raises a lot of reg flags. Specially for people who’s job is to make sure the animals end up in a good home.

‘It sounds like the person is looking for an accessory, toy, pretty piece of furniture, rather than a pet they’ll look after.

‘Granted, this might not be the case, but after working somewhere for a while, you just cut off people that may belong to this category then and there because you’ve wasted too much time already dealing with this.’

But there was something else about it (which you’ve probably already spotted) that got people talking.

‘So this (alleged) coversation happened on a phone -> got screenshotted -> uploaded to the internet -> right click saved -> printed (on A4 no less) -> pinned to a board -> and finally got taken a photo of by a phone that by my estimate makes it a boomer, just like OP.’

‘Even if it’s fake, this scenario happens irl more often than you’d think. Source: Cousin used go work with adoption centers + You’d see this often in adoption groups.’
