Maybe it's just me being over protective, but I had the chance to put Zachariah in the adoption center at PetSmart tomorrow, but I just can't do it!! I won't do it to Calloway either.
I can't imagine taking them to the adoption center and putting them in these tiny little cubbies that they get where they only have enough room to turn around and lie down. Kittens have more room because they are so small, but Zachariah, well, he's a big boned. He'd be all cramped. And lonely. He loves to sit and chat, and he sleeps with me at night. Same with Calloway. Calloway would cry at the adoption center... he's so attached to me. They said the last time he was there, he cried piteously until I came to pick him up.
If I lived closer, and I could go and drop them off daily, and take them home overnight, I would, but it's 2hrs round trip on a good day.
Zach just seems so at peace. Yes, he's chasing my girls, but he's just such a good boy. He sits and chats with me for sometimes 20 minutes at a shot, he follows me around the house, he's happy. He was so miserable when he came back here to me. He hates change. He gets depressed and then he gets sick and doesn't eat. We almost lost him the first time when I took him from the shelter. He lost 8lbs in there (26lbs down to 18lbs). He could use the weight loss, but not that drastic in such a short time.
Am I just being a wimp?? Am I being over protective??? There were some fosters that I knew would be fine at the center, but these two guys... I just think it would break their hearts, again. I think I can do the special days when we go for just 6hrs and then go home (he won't like it, but we can do it). I just don't want my guys in there for days and hours on end. I'd be home crying about it every night. I don't mind people seeing them on the web and wanting to meet them, and I can meet them anywhere, but I don't want to enclose these guys in such small quarters, and then have them be alone. It's too sad, don't you think??
Zachariah
Look how relaxed he is.... can you put him in a cubby???
And that face!! It's too kissable!!
Calloway - my shy guy
and I also don't know if he'd fit in the cubbies in PetSmart, lol
