PetFinder.com Spam Bots??

Oct 25, 2007 16:53

Friends, I have decided that I need a new home for my cats. They need more attention that I can give. I have been considering this for a long time, but after my basement flooded last week (totally different story), I decided to get a move on it. I called my vet and they recommended using petfinder.com, stating that quite a few people had found pets through the site or found homes for pets through the site. I posted ads from my two cats. Here are the first five responses I got:

Spam bots? Bad translation programs? Honest pet adopters without brains? Opinions?

Have no fear, the ads have been removed. However, I still need homes for my pets, in case you know someone (preferably in Seattle) that would like one or two very lovable cats.
