The little theives stole my heart and now they're gone!

We got a phone call yesterday from the rescue group saying that despite the appointment they had made for us this coming Saturday, the 26th, they made a different appointment for during the week for them to get fixed, so they needed us to bring them all back TODAY.


Of course, I had plans for today (am not even home now!), so my husband is packing them up and when I get home they will be GONE!
Good news is, at least I got to say good bye last night and this morning. And, as per another thread I made, we got a camera just in time to get some good pics of them!


And my, what an experience this has been. I am so glad I took them in!


From the time they came home ( http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=168436 ) they've been a great addition to our lives. There have been some rough times, but they've been worth every minute. Because of the "incident" we had ( http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=169635 ), I doubt we will ever hear from the rescue again, so I don't think I will ever know how they end up. Which is truly heart breaking, but I have confidence that they are healthy, happy, well adjusted babies and will find great homes.

I will miss my little darlings dearly! So, I am actually rather glad this was so abrubt. Had we waited until next week, we probably would have kept some!


Can I get some of those marvelous TCS vibes that each and every one of the X-Pack gets the most wonderful, happiest home and family and life possible?

In alphabetical order from left to right: Calypso, Davy Jones, Jack, Sao, Tortuga



Best of luck to happy beginings, babies!

Know that you did a GREAT job with them!

Lots of vibes for the little ones to find wonderful homes!

And even if you do not foster again for that group, I hope you consider opening your home again to fur babies in need.

Awwww, it is so sad that they had to leave you already! I think you did a GREAT job, too. Thank you for helping these wonderful little babies. They are all beautiful, and I really hope that they find great forever homes. for the X-pack!

Also, they had great names.

Let me tell you, there are some groups out there I wouldn't dream of having any association with. I offered to take a pregnant kitty from 3 hours away from here instead of suggesting rescue groups, as I couldn't think of a single one I would've let take a pregnant cat.

I suggest you try looking around to see if there is another group you can foster for.

Thanks everyone! It was so sad to come home to an empty house last night.
I miss them so much already, I am a disaster today! I'm already planning on "sneaking" back to their adoption center and seeing if I can steal them back!
No no no!
They are going to good homes now!


And thanks, zorana_dragonky, I liked their names, too. It was fun!


As for fostering again, oh definitely. This has been such a great experience. It is SO HARD with them gone, but I know they're off to get a great home. If they hadn't been rescued, they'd be dead. And THAT would be the worst of all!! I won't use these guys again. So yeah, I will definitely look for others. In fact, I've already had a few people call me.
So you guys may be hearing of the next "pack" soon!
I'd probably only stop if I got pregnant, and then only because hubby doesn't want to be the only one cleaning all those litter boxes!

Even though you had to let them go, at least you know it was you who kept them alive!


I would love to foster kittens. But, unlike everyone else who gets a little upset when they leave and then gives love to more fuzzies, I wouldn't want to let any go at all!!

You did a fabulous job with them even though you had to deal with some abuse. They are so adorable.
I look forward to the next pack.

Wow you've really been through a lot with these fosters. I got teary eyed thinking of you not being able to see them again, I can't imagine how you must be feeling! I really wish for your sake that you could be updated on their adoption status, but I don't suppose that's possible with that horrible organisation. Here's vibes for ALL your sweet X-Packers to go to a good forever home!
