    Homes for a couple of my long-term fosters

    Wow. This is happening quickly, but I have a couple homes lined up for some of my fosters. One home will be taking 1-2 cats, and the other will be taking 1 I think. One guy works with my boyfriend. The other home is friends of the guy. From what I know, they are all big cat lovers and incredibly nice people. I'm at work right now because my fosters are here boarding for the weekend. The people are meeting me here and will possibly take the cats home today. I'm nervous/sad/excited/thrilled/emotionally wrecked!!! My boyfriend is on his way for moral support. I'll do a longer update later. I can barely type or think clearly right now. I am going to miss my babies so much.

    Best wishes to them in their new homes. I am sure it is hard, but I guess you need to make room in your heart and in your home for the next ones that can be helped.


    Thanks so much kittycats_delight for the beautiful siggy and avatar of my kids!

    That's great! I know you'll miss them but it's good to have them going to loving homes.

    I did the right thing by setting you free
    But the pain is very deep.
    If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
    I miss you


    I hear you whimper in your sleep
    I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
    It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.

    Fur as dark as the night.
    Join me on this flight.
    Paws of love that follow me.
    In my heart you'll forever be.
    [/SIZE]



    How I wish I could hold you near.
    Turn back time to make it so.
    Hug you close and never let go.

    This is the hard and thrilling all at once part of being a foster mom. You get to be glad that healthy, well-socialized kitties are going to new homes. Think of all the happiness they will bring in those homes.

    And then there is sadness that they will be gone from your home, which is wrnching, I know. But as you know people who know these homes, at least you can get updates sometimes, and tell them to join Pet Talk so maybe we'll get uppydates as well.

    And that also leaves a little room at Aly's Rescue Hotel, for the next time a precious one is in desperate need.

    Oh, happy/sad/happy day. Good luck, Aly, I know it is something I would find very difficult to do.

    I can't imagine, Aly.

    You are WONDERFUL! And because of YOU, these 2 (or 3) kitties will be going on to their perfect homes.

    Hugs,

    Congratulations Aly on finding new forever homes for 2 possibly three of your fosters. I can only imagine the mixed feelings you are going through, but it must be so rewarding also knowing how much of a difference you have made in these little ones lives.

    Oh Aly, I know it is going to be so hard on you to give them up, but it sounds like you picked wonderful forever homes for your fosters.
    I'm sure your very happy for them. There are so many cats in need of a good home. I've seen the same cuties at petsmart up for adoption for several weeks now.
    Cheer up girl! As much as you want to, you can't keep them all.

    Thanks to BCBlondie for this great signature!

    Well done.

    It is harder to give the 'long termers' up.
    I know, I still have one kitten left from April.
    The others were on their 'merry way' within one month, but now, I've still got this one girlie, and while she wasn't my favorite, at that time, I have grown to know and love her.
    That is what happens. You get to know them, and then you are mush.

    Concatulations on your placements.
