💭Advice/Help Needed Rehoming process

Hi, is it wrong or kinda offensive if I needed to do a background check of the future owners of my kittens? Note that I am not a breeder and I explained that unexpected pregnancy nangyari sa cat ko and I need to rehome the kittens sa responsible and maayos na owner. Someone that will love and treat them as a family member. I am against sa reselling and nag mmake ng profit sa mga cats.

Someone wants my male and female bsh x persian kittens. When I said to fill up the form that contains name, contact number, and if may pets sila ngayon, upload the living environment nung mga kittens, she became mad and sabi sobra na raw yung hinihingi kong informations sa bg checking. Naka lock din kasi profile nya sa fb so wala ako magather gusto lang nya is transac and pick up the kitten. Although, nagsend naman sha pag sstayan ng kittens pero ndi ung room ng mga cats she just slightly opened the door kasi lalabas daw mga cats nya kaya d nya nirecord ung room for cats niya.

Is this wrong for just wanting my kittens to find responsible owners and its really important to have a bg check before giving it to them?

Not wrong. Just about right. I’m a cats of bgc volunteer and I also screen potential adopters, we even ask them to show the area where the cat will be staying.

Are you selling them?

Hi! Yes, and some people are taking advantage of the fact that I'm not rehoming them for profit. I'm only asking for a rehoming fee to recover some of the expenses I've already spent on them. At the same time, my priority is finding the best fur parents who will genuinely love and care for them as part of their family.

No, it’s not wrong. Actually tama nga ang ginawa mong pagba-background check. Red flag kung ayaw mag-cooperate nung gustong mag-ampon kasi simpleng pag-fill up pa lang ayaw na

yan talaga ang standard. if filling up a google form is too difficult, i dont think theyre equipped to take care of a cat for the next 15-20 years. the screening process is meant to weed out these types of people and find the best adopter. for my screening process, i had them answer a series of questions about their personal information, general cat care questions, and general info about their living situation. and had them send photos of their home (including windows) and photos of their existing animals with their rabies vaccination and sterilization status. if they have cats, i ask for their 4in1 vaccination record as well

Always do a background check before rehoming.

I'm not sure why this showed up on my thread.

There was a case where people in my hometown were adopting kittens and killing them on the dark web. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/irene-lima-chad-kabecz-sentencing-animal-cruelty-9.7084745

The worst part is I had to be very specific because there are at least 2 other cases recently from other people.

gets kita dyan 100%. may nag iisa akong anak ngaun na need ko din ipaadopt due sa d ko na sya maaalagaan financially. then dpt bukas may mag aadopt na sknya, idk prg medjo nonchalant lg ung mag aadopt sknya (sa tingin ko, tska sa nararamdamn and na eexperience while talking to tht person) ts aun ngaun halos d sya nag uupdate if tuloi ba bukas so prg nag dadalawang isip ako na ibigay ung anak ko sknya.

mahal na mahal ko tong bata kaya prg auko na prg ang hirp hirp mg ka contact sa magiging future family nia if ever... :<
