True.

When our cat died last year, we looked for another at a cat rescue place but were told that their rules preclude their cats being rehomed with anyone who lives within 100 yards of a main road, so we didn't qualify despite our cat having lived with us for 21 years in complete safety.

We then got a pair of kittens, sisters, from another place whose rules were a little less draconian.

I had this problem, I wanted a rescue dog last time but because I worked 3 shifts a week that were 6 hours long I was refused. I ended up getting a puppy, there was no other choice.

Round here there seem to be several foreign rescue organisations and they don't seem quite so rigid and are willing to at least let you try to rehome. Several newish dog walkers I've met this summer have European rescue dogs after being refused at the British ones.
