excellent point, nina, as usual!
also, gloria, i would talk to the vet, too--it might be good to find
out exactly what DID happen: it's possible the new mom didn't really
give you the xomplete story. just as possible it's a bad vet..

Gloria,
First my condolences on losing Chrissy this way! It's so frustrating
when people think they are doing the right thing, but don't bother
contacting someone who they should know would be able to give them
advice. I think you may be right, this had more to do with the
adopter's
Absolutely - everything that you said - you expressed it so well. So
frustrating, and hard to evaluate the adopting woman's emotional
state. And I end up with such a duality of feelings. She mentioned
something about wanting to consider another kitty. I'm just going to

maybe 15 miles away, and may not be aware of our cat rescue, so I do want
Maybe Chrissy has saved more than one life with the sacrifice of her own. :(

That is so true - that they are in our hearts forever. Even if they've only been our fosters for a very short time. Chrissy was so pretty and had been so unhappy around other kitties, and this seemed to be the perfect home for her. TenHouseCats [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: sigh. i'm sorry,
Gloria,
I'm sorry to hear about Chrissy. Do you think the vet
recommended euthanasia for a bladder stone? Doesn't
make sense.

Belinda would you add one of my former fosters (not FELV) to the Bridge
list? Name was Chrissy, owner renamed to Prissy. She was a pretty little
exotic type kitty, silver gray with stripes and huge eyes, adopted out this
past May.. Her owner found out that she had a large bladder stone, and
That's terrible, I didn't think a bladder stone was untreatable!!

Gloria,I'm so sorry. I know how hard it is to let go of a foster to its new home. I'm sure this is very upsetting to you. :(tonya[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Belinda would you add one of my former fosters (not FELV) to the Bridge list? Name was Chrissy, owner renamed to Prissy. She was a
Hi Tonya - you got that right. I thought it was a good home. I know she
wanted to do the right thing, and that she was ignorant of these
issues. But I would NOT of course, have euthanized a cat because of a
bladder stone...
Sigh...

Yes, I think I told this story before, but when I fostered and worked adoptions I would NEVER adopt out a cat/kitten to a family with very young children. I broke my rule ONE time for a family with ONE young boy (about 4 or 5) who seemed very calm and very good with my foster. Well.. a YEAR or
