ME TOO!!!!!!!This is the main reason why I could never foster... I would want to keep all of them!
ME TOO!!!!!!!This is the main reason why I could never foster... I would want to keep all of them!
I have re-read my post and I fear it sounds like I wasn't happy that nobody wanted Pallina and that I was forced to keep her.Pallina stayed only because nobody wanted her.
I had this same conversation when I got my Georgie a week a go from his foster. She is one of the main rescuers at the cat rescue I got my babies from and she rescued 2 of my 3. She personally fostered Georgie and I know she was attached. She said it was hard but she brought him over to my house and she said it helped to see us so ready for him with toys etc. I promised her he will have a great home as we love our babies as family members. I have sent her updates and pics so she knows he is ok and getting on fine with my other two. I see from her instagram posts that she now has a new baby that desperately needed her help. I think that is what keeps her going knowing she can help so many.It takes a strong willpower, because those tiny little creatures crawl into our hearts.
But when I take them into my home I already know they will leave, so I try not to attach too much to them, I raise sort of a barrier between me and them.
Shouldn't I do that, I couldn't help so many of them, it wouldn't be impossible to keep them all.
In other words, someone has to do this harsh job in order that someone else could enjoy a life with a kitty.
But...
In my post, Lola and Romeo were found orphaned. My aim was to raise them to a proper age and find them a good home. By the time they were ready to leave my home, I had got too attached to them. After all I had bottle fed them, they were children.
Pallina stayed only because nobody wanted her.
This is what I love of people who adopt my cats/kittens, the updates, the fact that they are remembering where their kitty has come from and that feel that I am happy those kitties are fine and happy.I have sent her updates and pics so she knows he is ok and getting on fine with my other two.
Exactly!I see from her instagram posts that she now has a new baby that desperately needed her help. I think that is what keeps her going knowing she can help so many.
It's the same thing that many people keep asking me.Antonio65... How do you find so many kittens? I would have never, ever, thought about finding so many in, such a short time.
Absolutely!!!!Antonio65... God bless you my friend!
I cannot even fathom how someone can abandon a family member? I see it like this: We have an unwritten contract to take the best care we can of our babies when we decide to bring one into our home. They look up to us and depend on us. What kind of person can, without conscience, do this? It is beyond my understanding....It's the same thing that many people keep asking me.
Maybe I'm very lucky?
It's that I have a cat colony (all cats are fixed) and often a new queen arrives and gives birth to some kittens, or (because there's a colony) someone dumps unwanted kittens where someone else will take care of them. Or I just find them on the road, like it happened in February, when I found an elder cat that someone had abandoned on a regional road.
The kitten I currently have home is a kitty that someone dumped among the colony. She's used to people, litterbox and home.
I don’t get it either. If someone can be cruel to an animal, they’re a sociopath as far as I’m concerned.I cannot even fathom how someone can abandon a family member?
