Need To Tell What Happen With Kittens

My beautiful Bell gave birth to three perfect kittens on Dec 18, 2009. I knew I could not keep them all, my landlord would not have it. By the way there were 2 grey and white striped babies and one with alot of brown with tiger markings, I really wanted to keep this one.

Let's jump back for a minute, on Halloween 2009. My beautiful Sammy had two kittens, one tiger and one black. So at this time I had 7 cats. Good for me, not the lanlord. So on the 21st of February I brought the three babies at nine and a half to petsmart where I connected up with Hanna who runs rose hope adoption. She was taking the kitties to adopt out.

I was so emotionally distraught having to give up my babies. I couldn't stop crying, she assured me that they would go quick. Still no comfort, I felt sick. In the meantime the two older kittens will be going to their new home in a couple days.

A couple days after dropping off the babies I was able to sit down with the landlord who decided it would be okay for me to have one. I couldn't wait to call Hanna the next day. The next day I called, she said all three were still there.

I told her my landlord said I could have one, so I'd like to come get Pebbles (that's what named her), Hanna started yelling at me saying I can't have any back now. Very confused and taken back, I asked (please Hanna?), she said no again and hung the phone up on me.

I called the manager who I knew from going in there for my other cats. He told me he would speak to Hanna, to call him back in a half hour. Well I did, he said that she said, she had already payed for shots. He said, well what if she reimburses you? No go, she said, she gave them up, now she can't have them back.

However I believe it was very clear to Hanna and everyone else in the store that I did not want to leave them. I called corporate, however petsmart and rose hope are two separate organizations. I haven't stopped crying. I had to go into petsmart today, it made me sick to my stomach.

I refused to go see if Pebbles was still there because either way I wasn't going to have her. I don't know what to do with all this pain. And knowing I will never see her again. Please help if you can!
