Do your parents live with you, or do you just go over to their home and help care for them? It really does seem as if you've got so much going on, and you must be feeling as if life is spinning out of control.

I have no opinion on whether or not to "go for it" in regards to the kitten, only that if it is meant to be, she will be available once you are ready to bring her home. If she finds another home, then she wasn't meant for you. In the meantime, take care of yourself too! Please let us know what happens to your mom!
Thanks. My parents live at their house which is 45 minute drive one way so I spend a lot of time on the road. Last fall we hired someone to help. She works 4 days a week for 4-5 hours each day helping my parents with meals, laundry and companionship especially for my father. It's been a great relief for me to have the extra help since I'm not nearby. On top of all that my mother fractured 7 of her vertebrae last Feb. and was bed bound for about 6 months. She is now up with the help of a walker but only leaves the house for doctor visits, and that is in a wheelchair. BTW, my parents are 79 and 81 years old - they had me late in life cause I'm just 36.

I do have a lot on me right now so this probably isn't the best time but I feel really drawn to this kitten and like Lallypop said I feel like she has picked me.

Catnapper - I probably should take your theory of if its meant to be she will be there when I am ready. She is so adorable that I'm sure she'll get adopted quickly.

Thanks for the support guys!!!
