I know Jen you are upset about not being able to raise these kittens. It is so difficult when you are sooo looking forward to something and it can't happen.

What was the background on the mother cat? Many years ago the vet we were using was brought a kitten whom was attacked by the mother cat because the kids were playing with the litter. It was a semi-feral barn cat and the scent of the children on the kittens freaked the momma out. She killed all but the one and that kitten was severly mangled. She survived to be a happy cat for many years however. I just thought that this could be a reason for the shelter and the vet being overly cautious?
