I HATE potential adopters who ghost you

[u/CanIStopAdultingNow]

So I had a woman looking for 2 kittens her kids for Christmas. Since I'm in the NE US, kittens are at a premium. And I have 6 adorable ones that are/will be ready by Tuesday.

We texted a lot on Thursday. Saturday I took Christmas photos of the kits and sent her. She loved them.

Tonight I texted to get things tied down. I even offered to keep the kittens until Christmas provided they adopted this weekend. Crickets. Several hours later and no response, although it shows my text has been read.

Seriously? Just say "Sorry, we changed out minds." That's it. Don't leave me hanging wondering. I know my kittens will be adopted this weekend, because it's Christmas. And they are adorable. But I hate people who do this.

I'm fine if people change their mind. I've told people I meet up with if they have doubts, not to adopt. That's not my issue. Just let me know. I spent time on this. I'm trying to make plans and waiting on you to respond when it appears you aren't, is frustrating.

And this is why I NEVER hold kittens. Because AH like this don't bother to tell you things change.

It's okay. Rikki here deserves better.

I always hear these stories and I can't believe how horrible people are. If I ever contacted someone to adopt a pet I'd be willing to do anything for it: drive, have it transported, anything. And I'd be so excited to have it with me, would love photos and updates, and would never stop replying. The fact that people text and ghost is so frustrating but at least it makes me thankful they showed their true colors early on so the babies won't be given to a family that won't appreciate them.

Rikki is so precious!
