While I'd whole heartedly love to be one of those people who takes animals from shelters to foster and find homes for, I'm just not built for it.



On Monday we got some more recent pics of the grey and white kitten, and the tiger one (my brother wanted the black one as soon as we found them, but he needed to get a bit bigger and well nourished first) and posted them on some of the local classifieds groups on FB. Tonight, the lady who is adopting the grey and white one came to pick him up, and in the middle of giving her all the info about him I burst into tears.

The sight of him sticking his paw out of the carrier bars, and the black one climbing on top of it to try and reach his brother did not help this.

So yeah, not cut out to be an animal foster mom, no matter how good I might be at it.

It would have helped if mom had been here to do the hand over.

Aw. *hugs*

I probably couldn't do it either. I'd end up keeping every single animal that crossed my path.

*hugs more*

Thanks, I'm consoling myself with comedy themed video and an inappropriately sized bowl of Mac-n-cheese that'll prolly come back to bite me in more ways than one later...

They are so gorgeous, I couldn't give them up either <3333

I would love to be a fosterer and help cats find homes but I would get too attached, especially if we got them as kittens. I honestly don't know how you did it. You are stronger than me Shine *hugs*

I did it while crying apparently, or cried while doing it, however you want to look at it.

Mom would have loved to let me keep the tiger one, but she has a point, about my allergy's, as well as my one nephew, who's allergy's are worse than mine.

We're hoping that once all the kittens are gone, Duchess gets less pissy towards Patches, sort of a "one's better than 4" kind of thing. She's been refusing to come on that porch at all, unless we pick her up and carry her through it, and she growls and hisses the whole way.

*hugs you more*

I'm sure Duchess will settle down, it was just new cats in her space and when they're gone she'll make it hers again and get back to whatever passes as normal for her :)

This morning when mom dropped me back off at the house after my Dr appointment, Duchess actually came up to the ledge by the porch door, which she's been avoiding the last several weeks.

I wasn't foolish enough to think she's walk through on her own, but she was out when the lady picked up the kitten last night, so she probably saw and had a bit of glee XD

She has less competition when it comes to asking for a hug :P
