Always trust your intuition. The one and only time I didn't trust my intuition when rescuing almost turned bad. A young couple came to look at the last batch of kittens that I had to find homes for before I moved into this house. I was desperate to place them, there were 27; it was December and bloody cold and the thought of bringing them w/me to the next house was exhausting but I was prepared to do it. Whispers was a beautiful female Siamese and when it came time to hand her over to the couple, she turned into a Tasmanian devil and shrieked, ran away and hid in my garage and I couldn't get her to come out. The young man then said "I didn't really want her anyhow. I'm only taking her becaues you said her brother has found a home." If I had given Whispers over to them and she had acted that way when they got home, she probably would've been tossed out. So from then on, I made up my mind that no matter what, my intuition rules. I think you already know what you want to do but needed verification. The majority of us so far feel that you should trust your instincts. Not all parents carry pix of their kids but they sure as hell shouldn't be confused about their age.
Oh, btw, Whispers brother is my Coco Puff. He was and is extraordinarily beautiful and everyone wanted him. I had NO intention of taking any more cats but my intuition told me not to place him. Shortly after I moved into this house, I found out why. He had a seizure and it took him hours to snap out of it and had he done that w/that young couple or possibly anyone else, God/dess only knows what could've happened to him. I'm not saying that I'm the only one who would care for a sick kitty. We all on PT certainly know better. But some people, especially young people w/little or no experience caring for animals, panic and the animal gets kicked to the curb.
