I agreed to adopt a kitten from a coworker’s friend whose cats had a litter in July. I love my kitten, but I’m worried I’m not giving her the life she deserves. I’m a college senior living in a medium sized room in the basement- she still has accessible windows. But she originally had my roommate’s cat as a friend for 3 months, now she has become adamant that they cannot play together because she is worried they will bond. My kitten cries every day for this cat, I’m sure she can sense her in the next room over. This has been going on for months. I cannot get another cat to be her playmate.
I’ve thought about fostering her for the remaining time I’m here, but that feels like a selfish decision. I’ll be here for 7 more months, so I’m sure she will bond with her new owners and other cats, I’d feel awful ripping her away from them.
Should I rehome her? I have access to the resources to be sure she goes to a kind family. I just want her to be as happy as she can be.
