I have been a very successful foster mom, letting go of over 100 cats and kittens who have stayed with me. But, I had the aid of an organized rescue group AND these cats were always known to be temporary. On the flip side, I have too many cats of my own, I admit, and find it totally IMPOSSIBLE to let any of them go. These are the cats I made a commitment to and feel I cannot give up on them. So I can certainly see both sides of the problem.

If you feel that there is a cat among yours who would benefit from finding a new home, then concentrate on him or her. Just rehome ONE! Screen people to make sure they are a good match and do not apologize for charging a fee.

If you can do this with one, maybe you can do it with another.

FREE cats (from the newspaper ads) are not always an adopter's best choice. Play up the fact that yours have been vetted, neutered, vaccinated, etc.... Add the fact that you can describe their personality because of the close bond you have with them.

And then use your instincts. You CAN do this. And it might bring a sence of peace to your household.
