When I was trying to adopt a cat last year, I contacted at least six local rescues. The majority of them simply never responded to my applications or emails. One of them "lost" my application multiple times. I understand these places are volunteer-run, but sometimes I feel like they don't actually want animals adopted. One rescue rejected me because my 5 month old puppy was not fixed. My 2 cats were fixed. They just had a no-tolerance policy regarding unfixed animals and told me to "come back when he is neutered". I had directly spoken to someone at an event that day and told her about the email, and she said she would reach out to the director. Never heard back.

I wound up getting my cat through a transport rescue from down South. I asked them if my unfixed puppy was a problem and they nearly laughed at me. Felt like a relief to finally talk to a sane person.

Meanwhile I tried contacting a breed-specific rescue for a dog and it's been over a week since my email with no response. I'm hesitant to contact the woman who runs it because I found out she has a history of being extremely rude and snippy to people who dare to "rush her" by inquiring whether their application was even received.

"Adopt don't shop" is so heavily reductive and many of these rescues are run by people who care about their egos more than actually getting animals into homes. No home is going to be 100% perfect. Also, the ethical breeders I've spoken to breed their animals very infrequently, and have such a deep passion for the animals in their care and what they do. They also usually work WITH rescues and shelters.

It really is about just doing your research. A shelter/rescue pet is not going to be for everyone, and people are absolutely within their right to have preferences and specific needs for an animal they're taking into their home.

I'm looking to get a purebred cat (scottish straight) for the first time and I'm worried about getting the perfect one from a good breeder who will have a long, healthy life. Do you have any tips or advice or questions to ask the breeder to make sure I get a good one? I'm not ready to pay what some breeders are asking for but I also don't want to end up with an improperly or unethically bred cat. I don't think I'll get scammed since I'm pretty good at identifying scottish cats and you can see when there are folds in the litter, but everything else worries me a little. Thanks!

This is not a breed which can be ethically purchased.

Unless you find a breeder who produces only straights, which I have yet to see, you will be financially supporting an individual who willingly produces cat destined to suffer. Your cat may be fine but his siblings would only know a life of pain.

The characteristic folded ears of the Scottish Fold are due to weak cartilage, but cartilage is found throughout the body and not just in the ears. The gene which effects the ears is not localized to that body part, the cartilage throughout the body is impacted.

Folds suffer from debilitating arthritis from a young age.

This condition is called osteochondrodysplasia and is well documented and understood in the breed. This isn’t a theory or speculation, we know it is universally present in cats with the folded ear phenotype and why. It cannot be avoided or bred out.

I strongly recommend you reconsider your choice in breed.

The American Shorthair and British Shorthair have a similar phenotype and temperament and can be ethically bred and purchased.

on this, the 11th birthday of fall out boy's esteemed fifth studio album save rock and roll, i just want to remind everyone of the one thing that never fails to Get Me about it.

there was a lot of scorn and derision about the title when it first got promoted, and fob was well aware this would happen. critics and caustic news outlets collectively scoffed about it, save rock and roll. like this four-piece from chicago, this dorky pop band, is gonna save rock and roll?

of course they missed the point, which is in the very god damn title. it's not a declarative statement. it's not a pronouncement of how we, fall out boy, saved rock and roll. it is a call to action. it is an earnest request for you, the listener, to participate in this act alongside them. it is an expression of desire to inspire creation in turn.

that's the ethos they've carried at the forefront of every creative endeavor they've undertaken since returning from hiatus. certainly that element was present before then, but save rock and roll marked the moment where they very deliberately centered that squarely in their narrative.

because fall out boy doesn't just want to save rock and roll. they want you to save rock and roll with them.
