They refused - they said because she lost one cat, she was an unfit pet-parent. Good grief.
That is a case of people not thinking for themselves. Stuff happens. My daughter was turned down because her boyfriend that was living with her at the time didn't seem all that excited about having the dog. The BF is Long gone and her Greta is still there that she adopted later from the Atlanta Humane almost 9 yrs ago.
Greta is a chow/Shepard? mix and Moe who was picked up in a bar at 2months is a rodesian/gsd mix. Both spoiled to death. :-)
I was very picky about my fosters but not crazy about it. Although I did turn down 9 familys for a chihuahua I had. lol
