To Many Cats??
I have always had about 4 cats, in the past few years, not to bore you with all the details, I have gotten 5 more, in Jan. I took in 3 three week old kittens, I found homes for 2 of them and kept one, which was number 9. One of the kittens that I gave away, (and believe me I questioned the heck out of these people) was brought back to me a week ago, I am trying to find a home for her, she's 4 months old now and in the mean time, I am getting attached to her, I know I can still give her away, "if" I can find a good home for her.. BUT I really don't need another cat... What do I do???? That would make 10 cats, my husband has been wonderful, but..... Well, guess I just needed to vent to other cat lovers, I'm just feeling overwhelmed now, any thoughts? Thanks, Aimee |

If you are getting attached, then why not keep her if she is that special?

I just adopted #8, I realize sooner or later I'm going to have to say
no-more. I've said it in the past. First we started w/4, lost one, so I started fostering, had one kitten, knew he was staying. Started fostering litter of three - the runt was so sweet and was attached to my first foster - "what's one more mouth to feed". Got another litter AND their mother - kept mom. Lost yet another old guy and gained yet another foster. Just fostered another and fell in love w/the one, he just became "permanent" Tuesday. Oh I forgot about Bob, he was a "cage break" foster - been in shelter for a year, why send him back when nobody obviously wanted an un-perfect cat (he has neuro problems). So he's stayed as well. I guess I would be the wrong person to ask. "Aimee S" wrote in message ... I have always had about 4 cats, in the past few years, not to bore you with all the details, I have gotten 5 more, in Jan.

Thanks guys for all the great response's, it's so nice to know people understand how easy it is to fall in love with so many cats. A lady called today that is interested the the little girl, she's coming tomorrow, I praying it works out. Then I'll be back to 9 LOL If she does take her but brings her back, then she's staying, I can't put her through that again. Thanks again, and God Bless, Aimee |

I would charge a small adoption fee and also write out an adoption contract
as well. This will weed out the serious people from those who are happy-go-lucky looking for a free cat, That can only lead to hardship and possible hurt for the cat. -- Panther TEK: Staying On Top Of All Your Computer Needs! www.members.cox.net/catprotector/panthertek Cat Galaxy: All Cats, All The Time! www.catgalaxymedia.com "Aimee S" wrote in message ...
