    1st kitten to leave....

    Well, the first of the babies left on Friday.
    It was kind of sad, but luckily she is just moving to a home in a subdivision very close to mine! Her new mommy was sooooo very excited to take her home.... had already bought her a new condo and all! I'm going to miss "Lovely" but I know she is going to a wonderful home!

    BYE BYE sweet Lovely!!!!

    Aww Kim it's full of mixed emotions when the first one leaves the nest eh. You're sad to see them go but on the other hand, happy that they are going to a good home, especially near by so that you can see her occasionally and know how well she is doing.
    Congratulate yourself on a job well done my dear.

    This must be a very sad moment in fostering. But on the other hand it is you who made it possible that she can go to goof home now

    This is sad but at least you know that she's going to great forever home. Since it's close by you can also visit her and watch her grow up too. Maybe you can get her new mom to join Pet Talk so we can watch her grow up.

    I went through the same thing with the 10 I've found homes for--it's so hard to let them go, but it's a great feeling when the folks who have adopted them tell me how much they love their kitties and share stories of their escapades. You can be very pleased about helping to create a wonderful new relationship!

    Kim,

    I know how difficult it is to let a kitten go that you've nurtured and loved. Just keep in mind that you did a wonderful thing by fostering and loving that little girl and that she's going to a great home!

    This is exactly why my husband & I can't foster! We get SO attached and then we never let go. You're doing an excellent job and I'm glad there's people like you who care enough to do this!
    Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is a full management plan in which stray and feral cats already living outdoors in cities, towns, and rural areas are humanely trapped, then evaluated, vaccinated, and sterilized by veterinarians. Kittens and tame cats are adopted into good homes. Healthy adult cats too wild to be adopted are returned to their familiar habitat under the lifelong care of volunteers

    That's one of the main reasons why I can't foster. It hurts too much to see them go. I do hope you will have visiting rights.
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

    I admire your strength to raise these kittens and then adopt them to loving homes. It is something I couldn't do. (I'd end up with 20 cats!!)
