Oh how I totally understand! Right now there is no way we could say good bye to the kids we've helped/fostered. Scruffy J, Peeper, Roo Roo, were about 5 wks old when their mother, Little Bit, brought them to the back patio. That was over 3 yrs ago and they're as much our cats as the inside kids are! In fact they come in from time to time! Baby Roo and Itsy are younger sisters to the 3 boys. Their mother, Little Bit as well, brought them to us and they were sick with URI. At one point we thought Itsy would lose her eyes she was so bad. But they let us nurse them and you'd never know they were sickly.I did TNRM here for a time. Had to stop as I kept adopting the kittens I'd trap and was "supposed" to socialize and adopt out.
Little Mamma is a fixture out front. She's been around nearly 4 yrs now and still won't let anyone pick her up. It was a fluke that I was able to get her to the vet! She was the Matriarch of the apt complex we live in. She had so many litters before we got her we worried each time if she'd survive another pregnancy. She and 2 of her boys from her last litter hang out out front all the time.
Anyway didn’t mean to ramble, but it’s tough to let them go. I don’t know how some here do it. I give you kudos for it!
In order of appearance: Peeper, Roo Roo, Scurffy J, Little Mama, & Baby Roo. Itsy is in the next post.
