Jen,

I didn't vote because I'm sort of in between.

As you well know, I've fostered plenty of cats and kittens from the shelter. I have a spare room that I can keep them in. But my MAIN concern is the health of MY cats.

It seems that everytime I bring in a foster from the shelter, they come down with a URI which spreads to my cats. Fostering is a wonderful thing. But in my opinion, they're better off at the shelter where they can be seen by people who are looking for a pet rather than having to notify the foster parent and make arrangements to go to their homes.

You do whatever YOU think is best. I have given up fostering because first of all, my cats health is the most important. Secondly, if anyone of them got sick because of the foster I took in, the shelter is surely not going to pay for the vet bill of my personal cat.
