Ashley - I had NO IDEA you were only fifteen! I have to say I am impressed with all the care and consideration you have shown in selecting future parents for these kittens. I am just thinking about your concern over the one mom who did not seem to be very interested in the kitten, almost felt you did not want to adopt to her - thought better of it and called her...only to find she really was a good prospective mom and will take Aimee and a boy kitten, etc. I thought you were an adult who had done this before! Wow, very good! I also recall that you gave some declawing information to your friend who referred one of the adoptive moms (Aiko's?) to you if I am remembering correctly. I really hope your dad decides to let you keep Sada!! Maybe you can use PT folks as your references Great job! Show dad this whole thread if it helps!
