Hi everyone.
I had in December last year rescued a pregnant cat from a car park. She went on to give birth to 3 beautiful kitties Pecan, Peanut and Patches on 11 jan 2017. After caring for them for 2 months Pecan and peanut were ready to go to their new homes on 8 April. Unfortunately one day before leaving peanut fell sick. I consulted 3 different vets and he was diagnosed with FIP. After much crying and falling sick (me!) I have decided to give peanut his best remaining days at home. Meanwhile the adopter has agreed to take Pecan and Patches this Saturday, 15 April. On one hand my heart is breaking to see these two go and on the other I feel so sad for peanut. Although he doesn't play due to his illness he likes to sit and watch his brother and sister run around. Once the two go the mother and peanut will be all alone. I can't bear the thought of this. I dont know if I'm finding a reason to not let go. I can't keep all I know but letting go is so difficult. What should I do. Should I keep them for peanut and only put them up for adoption after peanut recovers (I know that is highly unlikely but let me hang on to some hope here) or let them go now to live their lives with their new family. They don't have the best life here. Although I provide food and shelter and love them to bits, I am not ard a lot to give them the attention they deserve. Would love to receive some direction as no one in my social group do rescue and rehoming of animals. Sorry if I seem to be rambling but I'm so distraught since finding abt peanut and deciding what's my next best action.
