I feel for you too!

We found a kitty once and after looking for her owners (she was a great Siamese, no idea why we could not find them ), a friend just decided to take her in. I knew he liked her, but I didn't know how his family would react - they were more of dog people. His family loved her and she had a good home for the rest of her life.

I think the idea of filling in a form is good
