Having to Rehome Mina

[jennielynn1970]

Awe... poor Mina and poor you! There are some cats that just do not adjust to little ones. I know that if my foster Furbee were in a home with a baby, it would NOT be a good outcome. She's older, she's cranky and grumpy, and she nips when she decides she doesn't want to be touched.

It's a great thing that your brother can take her in. And like the previous poster said, maybe once the baby is older you could take her back, but if not, she'll still have a great home!

(((HUGS))) you are not a bad parent! You are being responsible and caring. That's commendable.

You are NOT a bad person - you are a responsible and loving pet owner who wants what is best for their animal not yourself. You have nothing to feel guilty about - she is going to a great home

You are doing the right thing, both for Mina and for Cadi. I know you will feel bad, but try to remember that, okay? We love you, and are sending you hugs through this terrible decision-time for you. You will still always be Mina's Momma - she's just going off to boarding school, that's all!

None of us ever know what life will throw at us and we have to rehome one of ours.. I pray ALL the time that will never happen with my babies but we never know!

It sounds to me like you have the perfect solution with your brother and we only want what is best for them! Maybe she can live with your brother and someday come back to you..

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

Oh NO , you are NOT a bad mommy!!! I know this must be so hard for you, but try to think how relieved Mina will be when you find her a new family!
Take care, and give your little girl a hug from me

[Randi]

I agree that you're doing what's best for all, and you WILL be able to visit her, and maybe take her back later. As Karen said, think of it as a Boarding School.

People first. If you were to keep putting it off, optimistic as you may be, it could turn out badly and you'd never forgive yourself. Mina will be fine; she'll adjust w/your brother and life will be good once more. Bad person? No way. Good mother? Absolutely. Responsible pet owner? Without a doubt.
