Update!

Taking yourself out of the fostering loop for at least the next ten years would be an appalling waste of resources.

I 100% agree.

[shais_mom]

I agree with Angie x 2. There is no reason for Jenn Luckenbach to take herself out of the fostering loop.
And I agree that it is so sad that this situation as come to this. People opened their hearts temporarily for these cats and I don't think Julie had any intention of it being temporary.
And now people are bickering at each other.
Such a sad story

I'm not trying to bicker.... I'm just in a foul mood.

Jen L. does wonders with her fosters, I'd never want her to give up the ones she has to take in the demon cat from hell, errr... I mean, Ally.

That's why I think you should FLY down to get WOODY. YOU NEED A VACATION! even if it a super short one!!

Veering nicely off the main topic, who is Woody? I know I don't read all the threads, no time with all my special needs fosters, so I deserve not to know - but still want to know. Is this a special back scratcher to relieve Jenn's tensions? Or a special pillow with aromatic wood shavings to cure her insomnia? Or, good grief, is it a cat?

I can make you brownies!!! Do you want plain chocolate, cheesecake brownies, or maybe caramel chocolate brownies?? All come adorned with cat hair!

I'm saddened to read to what all this has been leading to. Now there's this situation between Jenn and Jen, two people with a huge heart for animals, and both of them just wanted to help, but the situation is now working against them. Both of them feel bad and sad and heartbroken (who wouldn't?), and that's definitely NOT the way it was meant to be. Glad that the brownies make you feel better now!

I fear the next time a kitty needs help like this, people will not offer their help and support so freely.

I feel sad for Ally, too. I wonder what has happened to her in her early years that made her like this. Wonder why she has chosen to reject any kind of love, and why she feels only aggression towards other living beings. Maybe she will really be happier as a barn cat, where she can run and hunt, who knows? It's worth a try, and in this situation maybe the best that can happen to her, and everyone involved.

Jen - I think we all agree that you sending back all your fosters and turning down all those future fosters the next several years just to accommodate Ally is not the answer and no one could possibly be angry at you for not doing that. It's obvious Jenn sees that too but being the one left holding the bag is hard to deal with. In her spot I would have probably made the same comment and then regretted it immediately because hurting you would not have been my intention, it's just the way I vent frustration. I think venting her frustration was all Jenn was doing and we can all understand why, this is a horrible situation.

Jenn, I still say I support your decision 100% whatever it may be because you are the only one here who has had to deal with this aggressive cat for all these months and apparently Julie doesn't want to have a say in this any longer. Very sad.

I am not trying to bicker. And I am not angry with my FRIEND Jennie..... I was just trying to fullfill my end of the bargain. I know that throwing away a foster home (when there are so few) would be simple stupidity, but more importantly I never want it said that my word can't be trusted.

I am angry at Julie for not keeping in proper communication with Jennie. We all knew that the time frame was uncertain, but frequent status updates are the least Julie could have done.

agreed.
She seems to have let herself fall off the face of the earth where these cats are concerned and that is not fair.

Ok, so next time I'm in a foul mood, I vent to myself, and not while writing.

I think this has become more than we both could bite off and chew (Ally, that is). Let's leave it at that, ok? I didn't want to make you upset, I'm so sorry I have. (((((((HUGS))))))) of forgiveness??
