Jen,

Actually there is nothing wrong with your memory. The foster mom was supposed to adopt her but found that she couldn't handle a kitten's wild side. Besides, since the article appeared in the Detroit Free Press, the shelter has been inundated with adoptions of cats (a real GOOD thing). She felt it was best to return her to the shelter because she has a VERY good chance of getting a furrrrrever home. So, don't feel bad, you're not losing your mind.
