Foster failure? And hard decisions. LONG.

[phesina]

I don't have any answers for you, but I am so sorry to learn of all that has been going on for you and your family, human and feline.

I am sending along prayers and good wishes that solutions that are satisfactory for all concerned is found. God bless.

I wish I could advise you , but that is such a tough choice to make , and a hard thing to let Ctas go. We are praying for you and we pray things work out well

Oh wow. I am so sorry for what you've been going through. I know how hard it must have been for you to do what you had to do. But think of it this way, Sherpa and Charlie are happy cats now. They are not stressed out and living in fear of the "mean kitty lurking around the corner".
My two do not get along after 3 years, but there isn't inappropriate urination or any stress from either of them. And I've seen Paizly stressed when I was fostering a friends cat.

I think if Kyubey and Celeste get along then by all means keep her. You might feel like you failed Charlie and Sherpa (which you didn't!!) but you could give Celeste a great home. And I know your home is a great home! After all, look how Paizly turned out!

It sounds as if it was a very hard decision, but that both Charlie and Sherpa are in better places for each of them now, and happy, loved kitties. I do not think you :failed" them at all. And adopting mama Celeste would not be any slight against them, as the situation with her are Kyubey seems to be working out good for both on them. Know you are in our prayers, and we hope you have a good birthday despite all the hard decisions!

I'm sorry to hear that you had to rehome Charlie and Sherpa but you did the right thing. You did everything you could think of and now they both have wonderful loving forever homes. Some cats just need to be only cats but it sounds like your current cat Kyubey is a cat that needs to be with other cats. I had to rehome my cat Cirrus many years ago and it was difficult. I had him for about 2 years but things were getting worse not better. He was later adopted by a retired teacher and he even had an outdoor cat run area so things did work out for the better. Since things are working out with Celeste and Kyubey so well, if I were you I'd also be considering adopting her. She sounds like a real sweetheart and maybe she's also a cat that needs to be around other cats too. I'm sure that whatever decision you make that it will be the right one. Good luck. Happy Birthday!!!

Thanks everyone. Your words mean a LOT to me, I've been afraid to tell anyone about what happened.

Apparently, in order to make Celeste permanent, I just need to talk to the foster coordinator, who I didn't see today. I'll give her a call sometime soon.

Celeste bit me when I went to put her in her carrier this morning. -_- Luckily it only barely broke the skin, and she was a perfect lady for her shots.
