I've made a decision...

Goes to show how much she really did want it. I'm always leery of someone when they don't want to pay anything! I'm glad you're relieved and this baby has a chance at a good home!

Donna, 5 messages on your cell phone and then she doesn't show??? If she calls back tell her just plain old NO. She will probably come up with some "good" excuse trying to convince you that she really is responsible, but stick your guns and tell her no. Your initial gut feeling along with these actions is enough justification and after all, she's your kitten and this lady has no "right" to her whatsoever, so just NO.

Sheesh, some people. :rolleyes:

I called her this morning at 9:30 on the way to the shelter with Mattie Grace and babies. I said, "Hi Dawn, this is Donna" She said, "Oh hi! Sorry about last night, but I got in pretty late." I said, "Well gee, thanks for calling to let me know!" and proceeded to hang up on her.

At first I put just the babies in the carrier. I got about a block away and turned around. I brought Mattie Grace and put her in with her babies. I was GOING to keep her and certainly wanted to. But right now it's not possible. I'm going there on Saturday to visit.

So, she and kids are settling in at the shelter. They have their own room with a screen door on it. It's bright, cheery and she can be with her babies for a couple of days before they are separated. I left my carrier with my bathrobe in it (she and 2 of the kittens were in there with her) so she'll have my scent on it.

My friend Lora (the ACO) and two of the volunteers all agreed that Mattie AND her kittens will get placed very quickly.

I miss her already. But I know in my heart that I did the right thing. I gave her and her babies a good start. THAT is what matters. :(

You're doing the right thing Donna. It has to be hard to let your sweetie go, but think about the wonderful furrever home that someone is going to give her. Maybe they will even keep in contact with you. I do with both Kasie and Mina's foster moms. Kelly in fact is moving to TX and has already given me her address so I can keep sending her pictures of Kasie, and I work with Mina's foster mom Elaine.


~big hugs~

I will think about you today, knowing your heart is heavy and you will miss her.

Donna - you did the right thing although it was very hard and I can only imagine how sad and empty you must feel:( ((((Donna))))

How sweet to leave your bathrobe with them - I am sure that will be so comforting to them!!

Please tell us about when you next visit and how many kitties already have homes!!~:)
