    Me, a foster parent??

    I was volunteering with Cat Sense and was asked today if I could foster a kitty. Her name is Marigold ad is a 4y.o. tortie. She was placed with an elderly lady
    and it didn't work out. The head lady thought maybe if a man could foster and socialize her, she would be alright. I think Nikki & Daisy will approve. I may hve to get permission from my brother before I go ahead. I think he'll say yes.

    Go for it but go into it knowing that when a good home comes, you have to give it up........ and that HURTS!

    I can take them in and I just get so darn attached that I cry for days after they are gone, so does Chester.

    Alas, that's the problen with fostering, getting attached then having to the poor kitty up, but I could get TOO attached and decide to keep her! BTW, I feel like I have my own garden going, with Daisy and Marigold!

    My Marigold is very approving of both the foster parent idea thing AND the tortie girl named Marigold!

    You are a very brave person if you go ahead with the fostering, I know that I could not do it, I'd keep them all!
