Pondering...
As some of you know, I volunteer for an animal shelter as their cat blogger. Well, a few weeks back I wrote about being a cat walker where I walked the cats in a stroller. I think I also wrote that I helped get two cats get adopted too because of walking them around.
Well, I got an email like normal to write about whatever cat they want me to write about, but this one struck a cord with me...It was about one of the cats that was adopted. I am sad that she ended up getting returned to the animal shelter. It's very disheartening and I am starting to realize the politics at the animal shelter that the leader of the media team warned me about. I remember her telling me when we first met that some people are about the animals and there are some that are all about collecting the money.
I have heard that some of the cat adopter people, who help get some of the cats adopted, have been pressuring people to adopt, likewise with the dog adopter people. I'm actually kinda pissed that this is happening. No one should be pressured to adopt any animal they are not sure of. And it makes me wonder if the cat I wrote about today, the one I strolled around with and supposedly helped get adopted, was forced upon someone to adopt her, it just really gets under my skin.
I feel torn on what I should do. I do like volunteering, and I am here for the animals more than anything to help them find a home, but I don't want to be a part of something where they are going to force animals on people.
Just seeing all of this happening, and granted it's only been a month and a half since I started volunteering, just rubs me the wrong way.
For now I will keep blogging for them, because I am only their cat blogger, not anything else unless they need me, until I am able to find real work, even if it's still blogging, but for an actual company or something along the lines.
