    My heart breaks for you. I know how you love that little one and how much she will be missed.

    I don't think I could foster, I would fail.


    Thanks so much kittycats_delight for the beautiful siggy and avatar of my kids!

    Kim,

    I feel your pain. You get so attached to these kits and think no one else in the world can love and care for them better than you. After almost 10 years of rescue and fostering, I've had to say enough. It is VERY painful and draining, both physically and emotionally. It also does a number on your own furkids. Since LilEli and Tabitha have been rehomed, my house is peaceful, there's no fighting and my cats are as calm and happy as can be. It's VERY obvious. Fostering takes a toll on them too! For the first time in YEARS, Mollie Rose (11 years old) and I had one-on-one play time with the teaser wand. She LOVED it!!! At night, they ALL sleep right next to me.

    I'll pray for a happy, safe and VERY loved life for Angel. Don't worry, she'll be fine! It's YOU I'm worried about!!

    Kim I can empathise with you and understand the heartache you must feel, you will remember the little guy I found and only had like a couple of days, and I still to this day feel he went to the wrong people, I never heard back from these people and my worst fears are something bad happened to him, I have never quite forgiven myself for letting him go and not exploring more options, I can only imagine how you must feel letting Angel go when you have been through so much with her and how much you must love her, I loved this little fellow almost immediately, the good thing about it all is at least you are assured his new home is great,and that in itself will be a huge comfort to you, however just know we understand and feel for you so much, HUGS.

    Yes Kim, I know it's hard to let her go, and I probably couldn't - but I think you have made up your mind.

    It will be a great help when you know she's going to a loving family, and perhaps you can ask them to please stay in touch and give you updates. If they don't live too far away, you might even visit now and again.

    I think you need a break for a while, fostering.

    I know I could never foster because I would always fail!!! How could I give one away?!?!? I know it is going to be hard, but you can see if you can keep in contact with darling little Angel.
