Oh Rebecca my heart goes out to you, i can completely understand your situation,here in NZ people always offer their kittens free to a good home, it is just the standard, and until i became a member of PT i had no idea that people would use kittens for such terrible purposes,and i had never come across such a thing in NZ, however when i rescued my ellie and Nikkita, the previous owner's son joked he had taken some of their kittens for eel bait, i was sick to the stomach, and to this day i don't really know if he was being truthful or not,sadly i think it was the truth and it hurts so much to think he might do something so awful, knowing my darling ellie and nikki's nature and having rescued about 12 of their babies to a cat shelter, i feel sick everytime i think this poor excuse for a human being could even do such a disgusting thing.

You have every reason to be worried, but i think you are doing the best job ever at screening prospective owner's and really what more can you do,they are very fortunate to have you,they have a good chance of a good life, remember that, without you they would have no chance at all, but yes i can well understand you being so scared.

Luckily in NZ people don't take kittens for those awful reasons,most are genuine and just want a pet,alot won't pay because they know they can get them for nothing, it is only but a few nasty's that do the above here, thank god.

I wish you all the best ,and trust you will do an excellent job of finding loving owners for your kittens, HUGS.
