As breeders, we take keeping entire cats, finding the right bloodlines, breeding them, coping with loss, coping with failed pregnancies/deliveries, medical issues as part and parcel of our passion for our chosen breed. And we shed many a tear when we lose even one tiny kitten.
To me, the biggest heartache is re-homing or confirming a sale of one my cats.
Although I am overjoyed that he/she/they have found forever homes, the cat is one of mine. I have nurtured it, loved it and have been loved by it in return.
I have just sold the last cat of my very first litter.
The new owner comes highly recommended by trustworthy people who have affirmed that they too will look over her. I am happy she is going there...BUT, at the same time, I am dying, just a little bit inside because I wont be able to see her beautiful face everyday anymore.
Don't ever think that good, ethical breeders have no problems re-homing. My only consolation is that she is going to a great home with a loving family...
Any thoughts?
