I have always felt that honesty is the best policy and I would talk to your friend and tell her just how you feel about this.

I would say I'm not trying to hurt your feelings or start an arguement or hurt you in anyway but I feel like you maybe don't have the adequate time to give to your animals. Tell her to look within herself and think about the 20 or so animals that she had taken away from her in the past.

Be honest with her and tell her that when the shelter calls you are going to tell them about the animals that had been taken away...(this way it would not be a surprise to her and your were upfront with her about how you feel and just what you are going to do).

Any animal, but especially a special needs kitty require a lot of time.

Well that's what I would do. (((hugs))) It's never an easy place to be put into. ((((more hugs))) --- Meg
