Love Island star Zara McDermott broke down crying after seeing a cat for sale on second-hand shopping site Vinted, saying 'I just want to adopt it!'
Zara McDermott has been left in tears after spotting a cat for sale on the second-hand clothes app, Vinted. The reality TV star, who is a proud owner of two Ragdoll cats, Albus and Cedric, expressed her distress over the listing on her Instagram Stories. Zara, 27, whose face was red from crying, was seen filming her rant in bed in her pyjamas.
She told the camera how the incident was "so sad" and she had "sat here crying" in her sheets. The BBC documentary-maker continued: "I've just seen someone was selling their cat - their cat - their adult cat not kittens on Vinted. I'm just actually in shock, I am really upset by it.
"But selling your adult cat on Vinted because you don't fancy having it any more, and also the cat wasn't micro chipped wasn't neutered or nothing. How are people allowed to own animals if they're not willing to put in a little bit of effort to take care of it? It's so not hard to take care of a cat."
Fighting back tears, she added: "It makes me so sad someone could do that to a cat, I just want to adopt it." She confessed in her caption that she had been "crying for five minutes."While pet care items, such as accessories and toys, are permitted to be sold on Vinted, live animals are not.
"Such as: Restricted Items: items that are either not clothing, do not relate to fashion, beauty, accessorising, children, homeware, or simply do not align with the Vinted vision. Unsafe items: items that do not comply with hygiene standards, or may pose health or safety risks." Under the restricted items category, the company additionally clarifies "Live animals, pets and living plants" are banned from sale.
