NYC kitten rescue defends ‘NO F---ING MAGA’ adoption policy as

It takes a special kind of foolishness to turn a kitten rescue into a political screening. Itty Bitty City Kitties in New York posted “NO F---ING MAGA” and made it an adoption policy. So the group exists to save animals, but only if you voted the right way? Cats don’t ask for your voter registration. They care about food, warmth, and a lap. This outfit cares more about your bumper sticker than your ability to give a good home.

That’s not compassion, that’s gatekeeping. And it gets stranger. PETA, a group we usually disagree with about everything, had to tell them to knock it off. When PETA is the adult in the room, you know you’ve lost the plot. The rescue would rather keep a kitten in a cage than let a Trump voter adopt it. That’s not an animal welfare policy. It’s a tantrum dressed up as morality.

This is what political tribalism does. It rots even the gentlest corners of life. Who is served by this? Not the cats. Not the people who might love them. This kind of exclusion just proves that for some on the left, hating Republicans matters more than outcomes. The simplest measure of a rescue group should be whether it places animals in good homes. Instead, we get a test of ideological purity.

We hope the kittens find better advocates. And maybe someone in that organization will realize that turning away good homes makes them the problem. The motto of a rescue should be about saving lives, not scoring points. Right now, they’re doing the opposite.
