It would be hard for her to be a responsible pet owner. Where's the money going to come for yearly shots, litter, food, emergancies?????
I would hate to see an aniamal in that type of situation where his/her well being is very questionable. It's not fair to the aniamal.
I agree, which is why I thought maybe fostering would be more for her?? If they could supply the food and litter, or whatever, and then they'd also take care of the shots etc... Especially for a special needs cat, that would be a great way to get a home of sorts out of the shelter. That's why I take FIV guys or other special needs kitties from the shelter... they'll never get adopted, and when they're in there for years, all because of a label, it's just not fair.
