Donna - I think that you have made the right decision. Everyone knows how much you care about animal's health and welfare, but you already have a full plate with the crew that you have. To bring in another - well - that might be bordering on reckless. You need to think of yourself and your crew first, before adding another kid to worry about. I know it's difficult to be practical sometimes, and your heart can overrule your head, but yes - sometimes you just have to say "enough is enough". This is exactly why I could never foster - I would be a huge failure! I'm certain that Melissa will do everything in her power to find someone to take this senior lady into their home for the remainder of her days. And I still will say "bless you" - just for even considering giving this kitty a place to spend the rest of her life.
