We can all relate to how you are feeling right now Kelley. It is
frustrating to do everything in your power to place your charges in
quality homes and to know that most cats would spent the first week or
so under the bed, not helping their new mom do laundry. I wish there
were some magic way to help people realize that the ones that need the
extra attention, the extra patience in the beginning are usually the
ones that end up changing our lives in ways we can't yet see. I know
that the thought of bringing this sweet guy back home again is
discouraging, but if his adopter can't see how special he is, how worth
the effort of adjustment he is, then I'm betting that there is something
better for him in his future. Keep your head up. Remember you are
blessed in having the insight to see how each individual that crosses
your path is worthy and know that somehow it will all work out.
Blessings to you and thank you,
Nina

You know I agree with you and I wish all adopters would go to the
sometimes great lengths that some of us do for our furbabies. The
problem is that whether or not we think it has not been long enough,
SHE feels it has been long enough. I think if he weren't so
affectionate and sweet during the daytime she may have already
returned him. In this case it may be better for him to come back to
me, so that perhaps one day in months or years he can be adopted out
with another cat, but I'm not sure. My house has sufficient cats in
it that it is not the ideal environment for most cats. I would love
to keep them all, but I can't do that and do rescue.
I'm just really, really frustrated right now.
