Having to Rehome Mina

**Laura's Babies** · 07-09-2008, 02:52 PM

None of us ever know what life will throw at us and we have to rehome one of ours.. I pray ALL the time that will never happen with my babies but we never know!

It sounds to me like you have the perfect solution with your brother and we only want what is best for them! Maybe she can live with your brother and someday come back to you..

Oh NO , you are NOT a bad mommy!!! I know this must be so hard for you, but try to think how relieved Mina will be when you find her a new family!
Take care, and give your little girl a hug from me

I agree that you're doing what's best for all, and you WILL be able to visit her, and maybe take her back later.

As Karen said, think of it as a Boarding School.

People first. If you were to keep putting it off, optimistic as you may be, it could turn out badly and you'd never forgive yourself. Mina will be fine; she'll adjust w/your brother and life will be good once more. Bad person? No way. Good mother? Absolutely. Responsible pet owner? Without a doubt.

I Worked With A Lady Who When She Was Young, Her Family Had A Siamese Cat Who Hated Her. Her Family Tried To Have Them Be Friends, And The Cat Sadly Ending Up Clawing Her Face And Ruining The Vision In Her Left Eye, Not To Mention Traumatizing Her Aginst Cats.

This Is The Only Thing You Can Do, And At Least Minas Staying In The Family Where She Can Be Visited. Small Children Sometimes Scrae Cats With Thier Manic Energy And Noisy High Pitched Voices And Sadly

some Cats Are More Scared Than Others.

I can only enforce what other's have been saying, YOU are doing the RIGHT thing, absolutely, and don't feel bad Mina is going to a loving home and just think you will be able to visit kitty, even better, i think it is a perfect solution.
