Not many of you will know as my thread was not answered by many, that we found a stray kitten two days ago, we are taking care of him, he is around 4 mths old , a beautiful tabby boy all fixed and in nice condition, he is a real love bug, a lap cat and very easy going and laid back wee chap.
I have advertised him as found, so far no response, and have an option to take him to the cat shelter on Sunday, there may even be a friend of my daughter's friend who might be allowed to adopt him, but that is not certain.
My problem is both Melissa and I have fallen head over heels with this young man, I cryed myself to sleep last night , just thinking about taking him to the shelter.
I have always told you I cannot really afford another kitty,(and that is true) as much as I would love to have one,however my daughter has put this option to me which I am seriously considering if hubby agrees, (we will really have to work on him) that it becomes her responsibility, she has a paper round which earns her twenty dollars a week and she will take care of his needs, he will also be mainly an indoor kitty, as he is quite happy being so, well so far anyhow.
I have given her no answer yet, and I am dying to say YES, Melissa is nearly 13 and she is a very responsible girl for her age, she volunteers at the local cat shelter, and has had her job for over a year now, she wants to prove to us she will and can look after him.
I am in two minds, I feel sick at the thought of letting him go, but part of me is torn,would it be right to let her have him, what do you all think, your honesty would be appreciated, in the long run it will be mine and hubby's decision, but I would like your input please, Thanks in advance.
I am also a little concerned how Ash and Lexie would take to him being here, Ash seems fine, but Lexie would be right put out I think, I would hate her to take off because she felt unhappy with a new arrival.
