I'm so lost.

You are right Jen, she responded and it honestly feels like a wonderful person. I'd always said I'd let her go if they could go together. I want to meet her, and get to see if I get the feeling from her I did with everyone else's new families. I will know what to do when the time comes. Right nw all I know is I'm on the edge of falling apart and thats not good for me, my family, and my existing cats. Something's gotta give soon.

Kim,

You'll never, ever go wrong if you keep the best interests of these girls first. If you feel Flutter and Angel are best with you, there's your answer.

I know yours is an amazing home! Without you, they'd be on the street. Remember, MANY, MANY people keep their fosters. Its not a bad thing...you've taken more kitties off the streets that way.

Hugs,
Kelly

Peaches was a foster that became permanent when Mango gave his stamp of approval. Happens all the time...

Oh Kim, I wish I had the right words to say to you to make you feel better, but unfortunately I don't.

This has got to be the hardest part of fostering. The longer you have them, the more you fall deeper in love and the harder it gets to let them go.

I think what Jen said is good Kim. Afterall, you can't get better advice than by an expert.

Whatever you decide Kim, you know we are behind you 110%.

((((((HUGS)))))) for you dear girl.

I agree with Jen's advise, give these people a chance to show you something about who they are etc. IF this all works out take some time away from fostering, regroup with your family and fur babies.
You have to think of your family and fur babies first and fostering second. It will all come into place.

You have already done so much more than people who can't or won't foster. It is tough, to place a cat or kitten who you may have nursed back to health or rescued from a nasty situation, and never hear from the new family. My first fosters went 4 years ago and they may have fallen off the face of the earth for all I know. On the other hand, I do hear from a good number of new families, and the updates are very heartwarming. I've even gotten repeat business!

At the end of the day I need to have faith in my organization's screening process, and that the cat is getting a good home. My group delivers the pets, so we get to see the home situation.
