Well, I heard back from my Maine Coone Rescue co-ordinater. I haven't heard from her since my first post here. I was going to write to say it didn't seem like there'd been any interest in Booger.
I always get my e-mail first. Lo and behold! A note from her.
I'm so scared! I wrote back just making sure these people have experience with ferals (not that Boog's a feral, but she doesn't know how to use a litterbox and is scared of many inside noises). She'll need love and patience.
What will I do without our first stray - almost like our first baby? HOW CAN YOU PEOPLE FOSTER? It's got to be the hardest job in the world. We love her to bits, and I've got a huge lump in my throat and tears in my eyes thinking about not having her around the area any more. I know it's best for her if these people are experienced. I'll need your help and support through this!!!
I'm happy and sad and scared, and.... my heart is pounding.
Guess I entered that essay contest too soon. Now there may even be a happier ending for her. Cross your fingers and include her in your prayers. Please? Maybe pray that we can give her up to a better home than she has here because with two inside kitties and munchkin (who is supposedly being fostered) having Boog inside - when she does NOT want to be inside permanently - just isn't an option. She deserves better than just "caregivers," which we are. But no one will love her more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I guess I should have checked in with her sooner.You will not believe what I have been going through. I received 2 emails from people who want to adopt Booger. I went back through my email, and I could not find your original email to me. I was absolutely sick over this, and you will never believe what I have been doing to try and find you. I have called almost every campground in that area, asking about an RV that looks like yours. I saw it in the picture you sent me. I know it sounds crazy, but I was determined to find you. Then, tonight, just a minute ago, I went back through all of my "sent mails" and saw an email address that didn't look familiar ( yours ). I clicked on it, and low and behold, IT WAS YOURS!!!!!! You cannot believe how happy I am at this very moment to have found you.
