Tabatha Jones Review of ACCT Philly

I came into ACCT yesterday to adopt a cat. I LOVE CATS. I think they're the BEST! I've adopted 2 from ACCT in the past. 1 was from petsmart that I for kept for 15 yrs before she passed away and the other I still have and have had her for approximately 8 yrs.
I spent almost 3-4 hrs waiting to be seen to complete the adoption process, only to have had the bad luck of being interviewed by a staff member who had a negative disposition and I felt he was completely bias by the time he had to interview me, as I heard him making an under breath racial comment ("that mindset, you know. And it's always us/black people. I don't understand that.") As he and I and the person he was speaking of are black people, and it did not help that I had on a red, black and green / African head wrap.
He also felt it necessary to "scold" ME about not being in the waiting room when my name was called.
I checked how many people were in front of me BEFORE I went back to see if any new cats were put into the area where the cats were before making my FINAL choice. There were 2 people in front of me when I checked and, I had NO IDEA 1 of them was not there, which changed where I was on the list.
To the point of this email, my application to adopt a pet was not approved because I was honest when asked if I had a pet at home and was my pets shots up to date. My answer was no. I did not take her this year yet. For which I then asked him how does ACCT know that when people are telling the truth when say they don't have a pet or they do have a pet and their shots are up to date? He said, we don't know if someone is telling the truth or not but, you just told me that YOUR pets shots are not up to date so, I know because you just told me / you told me the truth. I was FLOORED! So I now know, that in order to adopt a pet you need to lie IF necessary when asked those questions.
I did not like his demeanor, tone or body language and I DEFINITELY did not like or appreciate his stereotypical racial comment. His BAD MOMENT turned out to be a the WORST POINT of MY week. I was VERY disappointed and hurt.
I think he was in a bad way in that moment and his judgement was clouded because of that. I was not treated fairly AT ALL.
Then again, who's STUPID enough to TELL THE TRUTH and screw things up for themselves.?.?.
