Part of me feels like we should take her
back there for a few weeks, and then the other part of me thinks at least she's healthier with us. The kitten is better off with you, but f you want to really make a difference I would suggest you go back and offer to adopt the mother. If you are convincing and say the kitty is obviously lonely without mom nd you'd really like to have 2 cats, you might be able to get her out of that house. That woman has no business having cats and you would end up saving 2. I would go as far as offering a nice sum of money for the cat if nothing else worked.

A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his way." - W.H.

Thank you all for such great advice!!!
Yes, I feel horribly guilty about taking her. The mother was at the house when we took her, even though the woman was insisting it was fine. ( snipped Don't feel horrible. It sounds like if you hadn't taken her, someone else would have. Either way, she was on her own at a too young age. It's not that bad; I've raised lots of orphans; they eventually were great house cats. My resident cats would eventually warm up to them, and I think they learned lots of "cat things" from them. I was wondering, is there any possibility you might take on another older kitten or adult cat? I really think your baby would benefit, not just now but in the long run. And you sound like a great potential adoptor for a cat. Sherry |
