Question
I gave away kittens and I have a bad feeling . The people were not dressed properly, car was dirty. Personal life on Facebook looks decent but in person does not. She hooded the cat wrong and said “this is how you grab them if they behave bad." I don’t know what to do. I want to take the kittens back. The lady also lives in apartments, where later I looked up pets are not allowed. I’m worried sick for these kittens and it’s only been a few hours.
Answer
I am saddened to read about these kittens. People who give away their animals generally have no further rights to those animals. Regrets do not equal rights. People who are interested in re-homing their animals should carefully screen potential adopters before transferring possession. Occasionally people who are not very bonded with their animals will agree to return them, sometimes for a fee.
