Chapter 363 Joining the Company
In order to get these stray cats adopted, their pet hospital launched a public welfare cleaning and deworming activity. Before the stray cats are adopted, they will help clean them for free, and sometimes they will also help with the first vaccination for free. Subsequent vaccines will need to be paid for by the adopters themselves.
Hearing this, the girl showed an excited expression, but soon shook her head in disappointment, "Forget it?"
"Don't you like cats?" Lin Ting asked casually, not wanting to put any psychological burden on the other party. After all, adoption, like falling in love, requires mutual consent.
The girl nodded, then shook her head. "I like cats very much, but forget it. My husband and I have been married for two years. We had an orange cat before. Half a year ago, my mother-in-law urged us to get pregnant. She heard a rumor from somewhere that it would be difficult to have a child with a cat, so she asked us to send the kitten away so that we could concentrate on getting pregnant and give birth to her grandson. I didn't agree to send the cat away at first, and she asked my husband to communicate with her. I don't know how she communicated with her.
My mother-in-law agreed on the surface and said she would keep the cat for the time being. A week later, I went back to my parents' home and found that my orange cat was missing. After a big fuss, they said they had sent the cat away. It was the cat I had raised before I got married, so they said they would send the cat away. I made a big fuss about it, and everyone advised me that it was unnecessary. Later, I gradually let it go, and I never saw the orange cat again.
I really want to have a cat, but forget it. I don't have the conditions. It would be irresponsible to take a cat home. Who knows when it will be sent away.
This little tabby cat is very well behaved and obedient. I believe he will find someone better to adopt him."
Lin Ting didn't expect there was such a story.
She lowered her eyes for a long moment without saying anything. Instead, the staff member accompanying them said angrily, "This is really too much. They secretly gave the cat away without her permission. This family is really terrible. Rumors are really harmful to cats. It's Toxoplasma gondii that affects fertility in cats, but as long as you are careful with this parasite, there is absolutely no problem."
The girl lowered her eyes to hide her sadness, "That's true, but the old people's thinking is deeply rooted, and it's impossible to reason with them.
I even consulted a doctor and found some popular science videos for my mother-in-law to watch. She didn't object at the time, but she gave the cat away anyway, saying those videos were fake and that I should prioritize my child's health.
Seeing that the staff wanted to say something, Lin Ting shook his head at the staff, signaling them not to say anything more.
"Since you don't have the conditions to keep it, I'll keep this little tabby cat for now. I'll see if I can help find one for adoption later. If not, I'll send it to the cat cafe next door. If you have time, you can come by the cat cafe. We have a lot of animals here, and occasionally you can relax with a cup of coffee and petting a cat. But don't worry, the cats in the cat cafe are regularly cleaned, dewormed, and vaccinated, and the cat cafe is disinfected and cleaned every day."
"Thank you. I'll go play next door when I'm free. My friend is waiting for me in the mall, so I won't chat with you anymore." The girl glanced at the time, quickly stood up and walked out the door.
"good."
Lin Ting opened another can of cat food and gave it to Little Lihua. She rubbed Little Lihua's head and asked in a gentle voice, "Little guy, would you like to stay with me? You can work for me in exchange for cat food and canned cat food. If you don't like it, you can leave. There is free cat food outside every day."
Little Lihua was thinking quickly while eating the canned food.
"Meow likes the smell of humans, meow is willing to stay."
"Then I'll have someone go and get you started. I'll also give you a bath, deworming, and vaccinations. Then you can get familiar with the environment. If you behave well, you'll get rewards like cat strips and canned cat food every day."
"Really? There are cans of food that we can't finish every day."
Little Lihua didn't understand what Lin Ting meant by working at first, but when she heard that she could eat a lot of cat strips and canned food, her eyes lit up instantly.
"Of course it's true. If you behave well, you will have endless cans to eat, but if you behave badly, or even hit a customer, you will be put in solitary confinement for education." Lin Ting held his cheek and stared at the little cat eating seriously.
"Meow will never hit a customer. Meow is a great performer. Can I start working here right now?"
"No, you have been wandering outside for too long. You must get deworming vaccinations. Otherwise, you will carry germs that will infect other weak kittens and may even infect customers. For everyone's safety, hygiene must be taken care of. You will stay in the pet hospital for a few days first. But don't worry, you will never be treated unfairly here." Lin Ting knocked on the little tabby cat's head.
Hearing that there was food, the little tabby cat instantly quieted down.
After the girl walked away, the female staff member next to Lin Ting couldn't help but complain, "What kind of person is this? She just sent the cat away as she said. Her husband is not a good person either. He can't even solve such a small matter. Maybe the mother and daughter conspired to bully the girl."
Lin Ting raised his eyes and glanced at the corner where the girl disappeared. He didn't complain, but remained calm. "If my husband can't handle the problem well, conflicts will only continue to erupt in the future. It's good that she saw it clearly in advance and got out in time. If she didn't see it clearly, she would be dragged into a deeper swamp.
But no matter which choice she makes, it's her own choice, and we can't interfere."
"I just feel a little sorry for the girl. If she meets this kind of family, they can't even tolerate a cat. If she doesn't get pregnant or gives birth to a girl, they might not even tolerate a girl. Listen, it's better for me to stay single and have no children to stay safe. If I meet a husband like this, I really want to die."
The girl looked at Lin Ting with a confused look and added, "Listen sister, I'm talking about me. You definitely don't have that kind of trouble. I heard that you are in the upper class, there are a lot of high-quality men. At least they have received higher education, unlike ordinary people who only care about trivial matters all day long."
Everyone in the entire pet hospital knows that Lin Ting is the daughter of the Lin family. There is no need for an arranged marriage. She has Old Lin and Lin's father and mother to support her above her, and Lin Jing to help her below. Even if an arranged marriage is needed, it will probably be Lin Jing's turn, not Lin Ting's.
With the background of Lin's father and mother, Lin Jing doesn't need an arranged marriage. They just need to choose the one they like.
There are bad people in the upper circles, but most of them will keep their family's reputation and perform their duties well.
There are also people at the bottom of society who have good character, but they are often defeated by reality.
Lin Ting just smiled and didn't interrupt.
As the two were talking, a girl in a white coat hurried out of the clinic.
The girl is named Xiaowen and is a college graduate this year. She was recruited into the Cute Pet Hospital some time ago and has been interning with Bai Xi for two months. She has now started to see patients on her own.
The girl held the checklist in her hand, looked around, and then locked her eyes on Lin Ting.
