This is an email I got. I've been thinking about how to respond
for a while and still can't figure it out.
<i>Hi,
This may seem odd, but I figured you guys would
probably know best. I want to be a cat owner. I'm
27, a professional with no life in sight, and I love
cats. I grew up with cats, back on my parents ranch,
and simply adore them. I'd adopt one without any
hesitation except for one problem.
I adopted a cat before, and had to take him back to
the rescue shelter I got him from. After almost 2
years with him it was very heart breaking, but I had
lost my job, and the Bay Area of California is a
fairly unforgiving place economically. My only close
friend (we both moved there from Boerne, TX) said I
could live with him and his girlfriend, but that I
couldn't bring my cat. It still brings tears to my
eyes when I think about him, as I truly did love him.
I couldn't provide for him and had to give him up. I
like to think that he's somewhere warm and nice, and
that his new owners give him as much love and care as
I did. My mother, who is a fanatical cat lover,
almost disowned me, and will still cry about it.
Anyway, as I've said, I'm alone, and want to adopt a
cat to have someone to love, basically. I just don't
know if that's a valid/healthy/good reason to want to
adopt and figured I'd ask some professionals.</i>
