Good decision
When I was looking for that oh so perfect rehoming for Ti, a bengal cat I had purchased a few years back, I heard from a girl I thought was to be for Ti. Once I was told that the girl could not afford to have her car fixed, to come pick up Ti, and a couple of other stories about being poor, I told her the deal was off. I wanted Ti to go to someone who could afford a vet bill from time to time. I know there are times when the money is not flowing, but if you cannot afford to vet an animal, you cannot afford to have the animal in the first place. Just wanting a pet isn't enough. You have to be able to pay the bills as well.
I think you did the right thing. Chester will find another home, I am sure. You are such a good rehomer! ;) Thanks so much for taking care of this guy.

ABSOLUTELY you were NOT wrong! You were exactly right when you told her "If you can't afford the adoption fee, how will you afford vet fees when he needs treatment."
Well done, Lorraine. And Chester will find the right home.
