I know, it certainly occurred to me to force the issue and keep the
kittens. There were so many factors involved though. I really think
that everyone involved has their best interest in mind, (although I'm
sure like everyone else, I always feel no one is more loving and
responsible than I, when it comes to a rescue's well being), I don't
think any harm will come to them and pray that they'll come through this
okay. I couldn't bring them to my house because of overcrowding and my
FeLV babies. I had twisted my 89 year old mother's arm to use a spare
room in her house. She lives 20 minutes away and I would have had to
put everything else, including my own animals, on hold while I ran back
and forth, continued to trap and helped to socialize the adults. Also,
I recognize that my forte is in rehabilitation and I stink at adoption.
I'm always looking for the perfect home, which is why my home is so
full. If Jill would have let me, I would have fostered all four kittens
and their momma anyway. As I say, I was stunned when Jill said she was
coming to pick them up, I didn't think she'd call me on it. She must
have someone else who feels they are capable of dealing with the
situation. Before this happened, I had suggested that she trap the last
3 cats on her own while I socialized the cats and kittens, and she was
horrified about having to determine whether they were feral or not. My
mother was kind enough to call her the day she took them and let her
know that I would still take the momma, the kittens we had already
captured, and the kittens still at large, if she needed me to. I
couldn't bring myself to speak to her, I wanted to pull her hair out.
She needed me to help her trap, now she needs fosters and I can't
promise anything with that. I feel so betrayed. Thank you everyone for
your support. I'm suffering over the whole situation and having a very
hard time putting it behind me.
