Aly,

Do you have to tell them that they're permanent?? You could always tell them they are fosters . Okay, so it's stretching the truth just a little bit. But it's a good kinda stretching.

I have a tough decision to make as well. The 3 feral kittens that I took in a socialized are doing great. One has already gone to his new home (Ozzie, the black kitty). I have Grumpy Dave and Deke. I've put posters up, asked around and no one seems to want Deke. So it LOOKS like he may have to move to Michigan with me. I'm not putting him in a shelter. What's one more poop in the box, right??? Besides, he's an orange tiger with 4 white paws and a white bib. And a real lovebug!!

Come on guys, give me some encouragement here, will ya???

Grumpy Dave I think is having second thoughts about staying feral. He wants to come out and be petted and held, but the minute I pick him up, he hisses and jumps down.

Aly, do what you think is right. What's one more kitty?? Hell, I've got 6 alrleady!! Another 1 isn't going to make a difference. Plus the place I'm moving to is a loft apartment on top of an unused warehouse. So I have the whole top floor to myself.
