Save a Purrfect Cat Rescue

I appear to be one of the legions who have tried to adopt Olivia over the last two+ years. First they try to offer you another cat. Then they try to get you to take Olivia’s companion. Then after filling out their elaborate and detailed application they (may) call you and continue to try to get you to take two cats instead of just the one you enquired about. Then they go dark. No response to phone calls or emails or phone messages. Then they claim they have contacted you but ‘must be having trouble with their phone’.
This cat is a loss leader. They are NEVER going to allow anyone to adopt her and, as some of the other reviewers have said, they are more then likely keeping her on the site to attract those of us who love Oriental Shorthairs in the hope that they can talk us into another cat. I have suggested they take her off the site, but I doubt that that will happen.
This cat is NEVER going to be adopted. Don’t even try. She is clearly already in her ‘forever home’ (gag!) now. Suspect this org is run by crazy cat hoarders, so don’t waste your time.

Wow, I also contacted them about «Olivia» and after they found out I wasn’t interested in adopting multiple cats they stopped replying to my emails. I had an Oriental Shorthair for many years until he was over 15 yrs old. I was interested in Olivia because of my history with the breed. Trust me, I know what special and specific care they need but I never got the chance to even discuss that with them because I wasn’t interested in multiple cats.
After reading the review from Veronica V. from a year ago about the same Cat all I can say is Jacob D. is defending the wrong person. Think about it this way, How many of those cats could already have a forever home but don’t because their potential loving forever owner didn’t fall for the bait and switch scam? Sad really…

(please also see «Save a cat» rescue — they are the same exact rescue. Sneaky!)
This is everything that a rescue should not be. The director asked me to adopt multiple cats, when i was only prepared to adopt one. That one cat is being held by the director to entice other people (the cat is exotic). It was a grave, heartbreaking process as I waited days, then weeks for her to return my calls and emails. When we met initially, she made me stay all day at her rescue while she tended to other people/​animals. My time was completely devalued.
The next day, when I gratefully asked to rescue Olivia, with whom I truly felt a connection, she never returned my calls.
She also continues to field requests for people who want Olivia, but has never released her. (I know this because she accidentally sends strange emails that are directed to other recipients. I’m not sure she understands how email works.)
I doubt seriously that much re-​homing happens with this rescue. Certainly it’s subject to many factors that are irrelevant to provision for a homeless cat.
The description for «Olivia» and her asking to be loved in a Forever Home was just this rescue owner’s way of attracting people who found Olivia beautiful/​charming. She herself admitted she’s had hundreds of people interested, but «none of them were good for Olivia.»
This is why people go to animal shops/​pet stores/​breeders instead of trying to help rescues. I would have done anything necessary to provide a loving, safe, permanent home for Olivia, and she completely blocked that opportunity and unprofessionally at that.
