I Made A Tough Decision

ANIMAL WELFARE,HAD A YOUNG VET TO BE,ASK,IF THERE WAS A FERAL CAT,WITH VERY YOUNG KITTENS,THAT SHE COULD ADOPT,AND WRITE HER PAPER ON.
THIS WAS A GOLDEN OPPURTUNITY,FOR POUNCETTE,GEMMY,AND KARINA 2,TO HAVE A NICER ENVIROMENT,WHERE THEY WOULD BE,IN A NICER PLACE,WITH BETTER FOOD,AND A VET,TO TAKE CARE OF THEM.
AND AS I AM OVER,THE LIMIT,WAY OVER,THERE WAS NO WAY,THAT THEY WERE GOING,TO LET ME KEEP,THOSE THREE.
AND THE FACT,IS THAT POUNCETTE,REALLY DISLIKES THE FOUND CATS,AND HAVING KITTENS,TO PROTECT,WAS GOING,TO MAKE THINGS WORSE
THEY ARE GONE.
I KNOW,THAT I DID,THE LOGICAL THING,BUT WHY DO I FEEL,LIKE A CREEP.
AND WHY,AM I CRYING.

BE WELL,MY LITTLE ONES,AND I HOPE,THAT MY CAT ANGELS,AND PET TALKERS UNDERSTAND.

Oh I am so sorry you are feeling bad but yes you did the right thing. If the vet will take care of them and treat them well then they will be in a very cushy place.

But they were your babies for awhile and it's hard to let go of the babies.

Gary, you didn't have any choice in the matter. I believe that things happen for a reason and now that Pouncette, Gemmy & Karina2 have found a new home, I wouldn't say a nicer one, because I think you have made a wonderful home for all of them, but maybe since you will now have a space to fill, there is another that is in need and you will be able to help him or her. It is probably best that they not be around so many other cats, especially if Pouncette is aggressive and of course she will be very protective of her babies and it would cause her and the others stress. When one door closes another opens, so let's see what is waiting for you behind the next door. My heart goes out to you as I know you will miss them, but you were there for them and you will always remember and love them.

[b]Gary, you absolutely did that right thing for those little ones. Did your mum not used to say "you can't save them all son"?

You did save these babies though. You gave Pouncette a safe place to look after her babies, and now you have found them a great home. Bless you and well done!! :D

Oh Gary, I'm crying along with you.

You did the right thing - Pouncette will be happier with just her babies; she won't get stressed by the presence of the other cats. You won't get in trouble for being over your limit.

As Killearn Kitties said - you probably saved the lives of the kittens by taking in Pouncette.

It was kismet.

Now, did you get visitation rights? What about pictures - will she keep you updated on their progress?

She's going to write a paper on them, so not only will they get love and care, and be away from the Found Cats that bothered Pouncette just by existing, maybe they'll be famous!

You're crying, dear man, because of your loss. But you could and perhaps should think of it as a celebration time. You just gave a wonderful gift to a deserving person, and a gift as well to three felines. You should feel like Santa Claws!

You did the right thing, Gary. (((hugs)))

Do not ever feel like you let Pouncette down (or the kittens). You did the very best you could for everyone concerned. No one could have a bigger heart than you.

It's probably the best situation for everyone, esp. for Pouncette. She will have less stress and that's better for the little ones.

Please don't cry. You are such a good soul.

You did a wonderful thing for them.
You will always remember them fondly, I'm sure.

Gary, you did the right thing. I'm sure it hurts to let them go but they are in good hands.

Gary, you may be sad for yourself, but you did a very unselfish thing for those 3 precious souls. This was a perfect opportunity for everyone. The vet student will get exactly what she wants/needs, Pouncette will be away from the prying eyes of the found cats, and the babies will be practically guaranteed a health, long life. AND they might be famous! You are one of the best foster homes, which probably explains the tears........all the best people cry over their little ones moving away. Thank you for giving Pouncette the perfect place to start on her new life.

Gary, it's ok to cry. You let go one of the pieces of your heart. I know Pouncette and those babies mean the world to you. That is also why you let them go. You are give them a wonderful start. Think about it if you didn't bring Pouncette in she would have had those babies outside and probably Gemmy and Karina2 would have ended up the same as Scratchier. You gave them a safe, warm and protected place to start life. And most of all you gave them LOVE. Pouncette, Gemmy and Karina2 will always have their place in your heart and a very special place but you did what was best for them. Listen to furrykidsmother she said it well. Things happen for a reason. There is another out there that needs you. You filled your role in Pouncette's life now you need to be there for the next one that needs you. You did good Gay for those sweet precious new lives and for Pouncette. Be proud you did the right thing by them. And believe me they love you just as much as you love them.

YOU DID THE RIGHT THING!

Gary,

Honey, you are NOT a creep. You are a very caring, gentle, kind man who loves animals as much as I do. What you did was very unselfish. You did what is in the best interest of Pouncette and her babies.

I commend you for letting Pouncette 2 and her babies be adopted by this woman. They are going to have wonderful furrrrrever homes, thanks to you!!!

Cry cuz you're happy, sweetheart. What you did is a wonderful thing!

((((((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))))))))))))))

Donna

I agree with everything the others have said. Sounds like an ideal situation for Pouncette and her kittens.

Gary, you did and AMAZING thing by taking them in. You saved them until their new owner could take them...and a vet? GREAT!!! You find homes in a GOOD way!!

Lots of hugs,
Kelly :)
