I have now been fostering a feral and a kitten in my house for almost 5 months. The kitten has come around wonderfully. The feral is to the point where he lets me brush him (for a limited amount of time), rubs against my legs, and sometimes (rarely) jumps on my bed. But he spends most of his time in his igloo bed, and if guests come over, he will not come out. He will not let anyone but me pet him. I took him in with the intention of adopting him out, but I am feeling really guilty about this. It took so long to earn his trust, I'd hate to break that bond...but I really don't have the room, as I am inheriting dogs soon that I promised a family member I would take in upon her death.
I could see if they get along with the dogs, but I am not looking forward to that! I have a woman interested, but she wants to meet them. I am sure the feral will not "show" well. So, this question may be moot. But I'm wondering--in regards to fostering--how long is too long to adopt out a cat?
