Amos is being adopted... Maybe.

AND AS SAD AS YOU WILL BE, IMAGINE HOW HAPPY TURBO WILL BE TO HAVE A CATBUDDY TO PLAY WITH AND HAVE FUN WITH, AND THAT WILL LEAVE YOU ROOM TO TAKE IN ANOTHER LOST SOUL WHO TRULY NEEDS A FRIEND.
I THINK THIS IS A WIN/WIN SITUATION

That is a tough one!! Maybe you should go with your gut feelings and the fact that you are feeling 'sick' when you think of giving him away. You should trust your feelings, they are so important. They might not just be from your wanting him to stay, they might also be about what is best for him.
Is he bonded with your other cats or friends with one or two of them? I have 9 cats and some of them are very close with each other. Would another one of your cats be left feeling sad if he were to leave?
Also, since you now know what she is looking for, maybe you could help her find another cat of the same description in the pound or on petfinder and that cat will get a home since Amos already has one?
But if you do decide that you want to give him a home with her, maybe you could arrange for her to 'test drive' him for a week. If it's not working out or if he is depressed, he could come back?

Well, I have decided to adopt him to her. Her husband gets off at 11 tomorrow, and wanted to pick him up for me. I said no I will bring him once she gets off work. She was so happy, she said she had already set him up a spare room...

I just feel guilty, Amos gets along with all of my cats, and he has been with his 4 siblings since birth. I hate to seperate them, but then again, he will have so much more with Ruthie. And it will help keep her kitty company.

She will sign a contract (as with the last) that says I get him back if ANYTHING goes wrong, no matter what. I told her I dont care if it is 2 am Christmas morning, and ice frozen on the roads. I will come get him.

I packed him a bag, through my tears, with all of his favorite toys, snacks, and his food. I also went to WalMart and bought about $50 of new toys I just pray I am doing the right thing. I am going to miss my boy, but I will visit often.

Please pray that this is the best thing for him. And that he will be happy and much loved, and accepted by Turbo(Flash is what they actually call him!) Turbo is what I named him!

awwww...taking your baby boy to a new home, however wonderful, is SO hard.

I hope he does really well - and on one of your visits he will be really happy with his new bro...and you will feel a bit better.

You are helping Ruthie and a lonely little cat...

{{{{hugs}}}} Thinking about you!
