Hi, while I haven't been a member here for a long time - I've been a pretty successful foster mom so will try to give you my thoughts on this.

I love each and every one as much as if they were my own, kiss them, and help let them know again - they are loved - most of my fosters were previously dumped at the pound by their "idoit owners!" ... I help make them loving and friendly again and feel safe.

Though, I keep in mind there is someone out there that needs them more than me - to heal their heart, soothe their soul, or find solace after a loved one of their's has moved on. I like to think that each cat picks their special person.

Spaying/neutering, shots and microchipping does costs more than the $99 adoption fee - But if they can't afford the fee, they won't take care of the animal either.

don't know if this helps ((((((((Hugs))))))) it is hard to let them go, and I do have a down day after 1 finds their new home missing their little personailities
