    If I adopted a cat, and as much as I love them, they terrified the cats that were already here, they would have to go. Don't feel guilty, Aurora won't. If I didn't have other cats, I would adopt Schroeder in a second! But I have two others and they were here first. Sometimes it just doesn't work out.
    Proud to be a crazy cat lady!

    Don't be that hard on yourself!

    You have no options left! You tried it all and now you know what is the best option for all of you.

    Don't feel guilty, if it was for you you'd make it work but Schroeder aggressiveness is too much and after all Aurora is the first one in.

    It just wasn't meant to happen!

    Don't feel sad about it! You tried!!

    Hugs x x x

    We had a similar situation years ago. We only had Boo at the time, and adopted Samantha, a white tortie. It soon was obvious, she was not suited to living with another cat. She lived with us for 8 weeks, just to get past the " new " phase. I hated to bring her back to the shelter. Then she developed a really bad URI. BUT, Samantha did get adopted to a home where she was the only cat. I think of her often, and when going thru photos of the cats, there she is....I guess she might be at the Bridge(she'd be about 20 now). I hope she will remember Barry and me when we go there.....Schroeder knows you tried, knows you loved him, and he is most grateful for the time you had together...Hang in there.....

    Same here! He is so handsome, I'm sure he will find a home as an only kitty.

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!

    I'm sorry Schroeder didn't work out. I hope he finds a home where he is the only cat. You've done all you could.

    Good Luck Schroeder.

    I agree with you katladyd and cassiesmom. If I didn't have any other cats, I would keep him too. I just talked with the foster mom from the cat rescue. Her dad lives in my town, so she is going to come visit him tomorrow. We're going to meet around 3 for her to take him. This is very sad. It was 6 weeks ago today that I lost Morgan. I never dreamed that I would get so attached to Schroeder. I am going to be checking petfinder every day to see if he has a home and am going to be so sad to see him back on there. I'm going to be tempted to drive to Nashville and look at him in Petsmart too. I know that probably wouldn't be good for me or for him. I have all of his stuff that I know he likes all together to go with him. I want him to get a happy ending.

    Time helps the sadness subside, but the memories remain forever.

    Could her dad take Schroeder?

    Prayers and hugs for you both. Bless you for loving him so much and doing all you did for him.

    No, her dad can't take Schroeder. I'm meeting her after she visits with her dad because her step-mother is allergic to cats.

    I just said my good-byes to my boy Schroeder. I met the lady from the cat rescue in town. The house is lonely again. Although, Aroara is here with me. She keeps walking around hissing. This is the first time in a month that the door to my bedroom has been open when she has been inside. I'm sure she smells his scent in there. I hope she'll come in to sleep with me tonight. I am very sad, but also a little relieved. It was a lot of work having him here and making sure everyone was alright and separated. Maybe I'll just take a little time to relax before making any other kitty decisions. I might attempt to get one or two of the outside kitties to be more comfortable coming inside. If only I could have my Morgan back, all would be right in my house.
