I want to continue to foster cats (kittens) especially since I should most definitely NOT be adopting any new cats. But is it fair to the fosters to have only the run of one room? On the one hand, if they were not here they would probably be in a one room shelter, a cage in a shelter, on the street or dead. So, being in a home with people who can love them is certainly better than that, right? But on the other hand, a lot of other foster homes have their fosters running freely in their homes (something I may not be able to do because of starting a pee-ing problem again). I read once (here, on someone's thread) about kittens being raised in a bedroom and the comment back was "What kind of life was THAT for a kitten?!?". I felt guilty because Bonnie raised her babies in a bedroom, by herself. On yet a third hand, there are organizations in my area that REQUIRE that you keep fosters separate from your own animals. They must have their reasons for that and maybe I should not feel guilty.
So tell me the honest truth, in your opinion, is it fair to keep these fosters in a single room or should I just not accept any more fosters?
