I do that when a cat doesn't "present" itself to me. My current cat is one I got from the shelter, but I wanted a Siamese type especially if it was a tabby point or similar. I almost adopted a pair of older Siamese mix cats that belonged together - they were found wandering together and got upset if separated. I put in my application on the first day of the waiting period after they arrived at the shelter. But the elderly lady that owned them recovered the pair. They'd been let loose by a delivery person and she'd been frantically searching for them. Everyone was happy they could go home.
The shelter didn't have any other Siamese at the time and no other cats appealed to me so I left my application with them and decided to go back in a few days. The next day they called me - someone in a neighboring county had turned in a litter of feral kittens and one was a Siamese. I drove in and adopted the little guy - I thought about adopting a sister but the rest of the litter was spoken for already. They had held the Siamese mix for me!
