I'll never understand this. My daughter's friend was gifted a kitten for her birthday, but they gave it away a week later. Now I saw an ad on Avito for a 7-month-old puppy being given away because they're expecting a baby. Why would you even get a dog just to play with and then give it away when a child arrives? Recently, there was a story about a purebred adult dog tied up by a dumpster. They tracked down who did it via cameras. He said, "I don't need a dog. If you return it, I'll take it out to the countryside." They give away older animals too. And if no one wants these animals anymore, what will happen to them? I feel so sorry for the animals. People infuriate me with their irresponsibility.
I went to a workout on Wednesday after a year-long break. My legs and arms are killing me, it's insa…

Well, that's true. If someone takes it, great. But if not...
It's been like this with this little dog for 7 months. They probably knew there would be a new baby. Why get a pet.
Our dog recently passed away. I told my husband, let's get this one. She looks a lot like her))

And what if your parents didn't take them? Then what? Mine don't, they said "your pets are your responsibility".

They'll take them, where else would they go. There are also animal shelters.

I totally support you, I don't understand that either. But there's a caveat that irresponsibility isn't present in every such situation

We have 2 dogs and 4 cats too)) If we lived in a house with a yard, we'd have more... Today I saw this ad for a puppy, and I told my husband, 'Let's get her.' She looks so much like our sweet old dog who passed away recently...

What kind of dog is that? A mutt or a purebred?

I have three cats and two rats 😂
I'm severely allergic to dogs, both me and my older son, otherwise I'd be surrounded by dogs 😂

My neighbor got a dog specifically to breed puppies. Now I see her and I always wonder, what if the puppies aren't all adopted?

I saw an announcement from the animal shelter yesterday too. They're giving away a Spaniel and her puppies... It's a shame.

My thoughts when I go on Avito [a Russian classifieds website] – (apparently I looked at an animal once and now a selection keeps popping up) – what kind of people are these, giving away animals in batches. And here we are discussing children, how difficult it is, and people can't even take responsibility for a kitten.
And I have a dog – I can't imagine giving her away, she's already dear to me, even though we've only been together for 1.5 years.

So I'm not having any pets and I'm against having animals in the apartment. It's just too much for me.

Fedorova Karina When you have to give up a pet for health reasons. Allergies can sometimes develop unexpectedly 🤷️

Fedorova Karina Cat allergies mean you won't get a cat. You're right, sometimes it's necessary to give up a pet...

Fedorova Karina And it might not appear right away with a cat either. You never know. My husband's friend always had cats his whole life, but when he became an adult, it started. Even though he loves cats very much. In the end, he had to give his cat away because of it. Now he only has hairless cats; he gets an allergic reaction to furry ones.

Fedorova Karina I love cats too, but I haven't had pets for 14 years due to allergies. I'm scared to even get a Sphynx, what if I'm allergic to them too... I wouldn't be able to give it away. And I don't want to live on medication for another 15 years 😓

Fedorova Karina Oh, no. When it comes to health, I'm against sacrificing for pets. My son has allergies and really wanted a dog. But I was against getting a dog; it's not the kind of animal I could give proper attention and care to. We agreed on a cat, I was ready for that. But I was afraid of allergies, what if he had them? So, I first looked for someone who could take the cat if allergies started, and only then did I look for a cat. In the end, we got a Sphynx Brush. Not completely hairless, it has an undercoat. She's been living with us for almost 2 years, and it's going well :) My brother, on the other hand, has a dog, and my son reacts to it sometimes, not every time. If she licks him, he gets red spots there immediately.

How do they get along?)) We had a guinea pig once. The cat constantly dragged it by the scruff of its neck))
A spaniel mix dog. We had the same one…

Fedorova Karina This suggests that the allergy is not to fur at all. My scratches from cat play always swelled up and itched terribly. That's why I don't risk it, most likely this means I'm not allergic to fur either. Maybe I'll risk it when I retire 😅

Fedorova Karina Not even when you're retired. When you die, what about the animal?
My father-in-law passed away and left behind 2 dogs and a cat. So I had to take them in.

Fedorova Karina You guys found a kitten somehow, were looking for good people to adopt it, and some people wanted to take it, but I was really close to tears, I didn't want to give it to them, it was some kind of internal protest. In the end, we refused them and found others. I gave it to them calmly, they were adequate people. The only thing they asked was that if it wasn't needed anymore, they should give it back to us, not throw it away.

Fedorova Karina It's usually not the fur itself that causes allergies, but rather the protein in their saliva. When we got our kitten, my son started sneezing (it coincided with something else), and I bought cat food that reduces allergens. I fed him that for a long time, then gradually stopped and monitored my son's reaction. Everything was fine, but the food really helps, maybe it will help in your case too)

I didn't mean I specifically needed your husband.
I meant someone who doesn't like animals. Especially if I already had a pet and needed to give it away.

I understand. Everyone is different; what's unacceptable to you is different for me. I think it's excessive to judge when an animal has been cared for and rehomed. I don't think suffering and living with a pet you don't love, where the animal also suffers, is better than finding it a place where it will be happier. I believe that, on the contrary, ensuring everyone is happy is the responsible thing to do.
