I have no update yet. My Aunt said she was going to this other ladies house for a visit today, and would let me know what transpired when she got back home. Since this other lady is a friend of hers, she feels that asking for Hazelle back or taking in a shelter kitty would be insulting to her friend. Ok, so I can see how taking in a shelter kitty would be insulting, but I don't get how asking for Hazelle back would be.

From what little she says about their arrangement with Hazelle, it sounds like maybe she was more fostering her than keeping her. The other lady was still going to pay all vet bills and provide Hazelle with all her food, so she basically wouldn't cost my Aunt anything, and the other people would still be in control.

So the good news is she (my Aunt) doesn't hate me for speaking my mind, and she will let me know how it all turns out, and I will in turn let you know.

She keeps insisting that the other lady cares deeply for her cats, and since I've never met her I guess I have to give her the benefit of the doubt, but she still irks me in her actions with Hazelle.

And AntiPam, I want to be on your newly founded PTRS!
