Expensive pets?

[jenn82]

I have noticed as I am sure others have that some pets are being put up for adoption for ridiculous prices. Is there a way for those pets to be tracked back to the owner and stopped? I was just wondering...

Thanks for your time...
Jennifer

I'm not sure but it has been mentioned on here and for people to not buy them because of them trying to make "blessings" off of them.

You may want to post in Support and alert them to it. Btw, Jenn that was sweet. You didn't have to give back the blessings for Coolness

Thank you very much though!

I exclaimed rather loudly when I saw that cat for 10,000. The pet rescuers have decided not to adopt any pet that costs more than the 700 required to make a pet. That expensive pet will end up being deleted at the end of the month.

Is that the same pet that was adopted at 3000?? I wish there was a way to find out who is doing that....

The one for 3000 was a dog called Beka. I don't know if it was adopted or deleted though. I don't think it's the same pet because this cat is only 2 days old and the dog was 1 day old on December 29.

There is a little pet listed now for adoption for 10,000. I just took in Lily who was dying and had only a few hours left. It cost me zillions to get her health up. I had to put LilMissMagic in petcare, so I have FIVE DAYS to find a home for Lily. HELP!!! YIKES.

If you don't buy the really expensive pets, they will die and the owners will have lost 700 blessings or however much they bought them for. I don't think it's fair that they buy something for 700 blessings, then get 10,000 from someone who desperately wants to save the pet from dying.

Has this been going on for a while? Or has it only been happening since there's been members crusading to save pets? Because that would make sense...

I think it is something they started to extort blessings from the rescuers. Those little pets will die if we don't pay the outrageous prices. I really don't know what can be done.

Yes, this is exactly what I mean. Since they've seen all the hype about the Pet rescuers, they've figured that one of you guys will buy the pet for 3,000 etc, and they will get the money. It's a lose-lose situation for the pet rescuers - if you leave the pet, it will die; if you buy it, you will be paying a huge amount to someone who is just extorting you guys.

I have just seen two people begging for blessings. They have bought pets and now can't afford to keep them. One bought hers for about 500 from the adoption center and has about 40 blessings left. She has just over 40 posts I believe.

It is so annoying! You don't buy a pet then beg people for blessings!

There should be a minimum post that you must achieve before buying a pet. GRRR.

I agree, as much as I love the giving thread and others it is amazing how some members have have come out of the woodwork to ask and beg for blessings.

 

[bumblebee62331]

Anyone who buys a pet, or adopts one, has to agree to this:

You must follow these guidelines. NOTE: Creating a CF Pet will use up 700 blessings.
· You must look after your pet and keep it happy.
· You must feed your pet to stop it getting hungry.
· If your pet is hungry it will lose health and pleasure.
· If your pet has no health for 5 days it will die.

Sadly, I see many people violating these rules. They shouldn't get extra blessings and help from people for doing the wrong thing. It's sad because they will get blessings, they will get help from CF members, when they shouldn't be getting hand-outs. It's so annoying.

I have just put up my pet for adption today for 700 blessings and I did not know there were restrictions because, you spend so much blessings feeding the pet and changing it's color and things


but 3000 is ridiculous

oh and by the way it is becuase I am going away and I don't know when woulkd I be back and Iam scared of Nona to starve to death

 

[CFpetRESCUER20]

Yes, I see that 3 years old Daisy in the pet care for 10,000 blessing. If we were to spend $10,000 blessing to buy every pet...we would only be able to save 4 pets.

I wondered if that person brough the pet for 3000 blessing because there were no other pets up for adoption? I was actually surprise to find that the pet be saved.

 

[GodsGirl]

I think 700 blessings is fair. You put it up for the same amount it cost for what you paid for it. (I realize this is not real life but..) Pet adoptions though shelters in real life are just as expensive as if you would buy a puppy.

I have only noticed this trend since we started to rescue pets. I have more to say but must get back to work. Thanks for the feed back guys.

This is definatly rediculus. And as far as I know there's nothing we can do to stop it.
