Congratulations to you and Hope! YAY!!!!!
So happy for you both!
Congratulations on your newest addition!
I am the proud meowmy of cats that I "promised" hubby I was only going to socialize then look for new homes for.
Well, turns out I couldn't(wasn't going to) give up my quirky cats and now I have the 6 (my limit) and I love them all. Fortunately we also bought a bigger house to keep them all in(that's my story and I'm sticking to it!
)
So once again I say congratulations to you for giving a little furball a chance.

She looks just like a angel - blessings to you - and, may I say, I'm not surprised

Carolina,
I knew you would end up keeping Hope.
I am glad you decided to keep her.
When we used to save ferals I kept a few for myself.

She is such a beautiful kitty thanks to you!
Congratulations!
I'm so glad you and Hope get to keep each other. She's such a pretty girl.

Boy - don't I know that agony. I am in emotional upheaval myself about my foster boys. I just CANNOT keep them.... the one I am worried about the most is Ghost - he was kind of like Hope - skinny, scared, undersocialized, every little noise or movement would make him run and hide. He spend 6 weeks living in the upstairs hallway bath. Little by little... trusting me and getting some meat on his bones, he blossomed.
He let ME know that he wanted to interact with the other cats... so again, little by little, under supervised conditions, he spent time with the other fosters. At first, he didn't know what to do or how to respond. But by interacting and watching, my little scaredy, mildly "austistic" foster boy learned and is now just one of the gang. He luuuurrrrves his "brothers and his Meowmy... and I feel the same about him. I don't know if he would adjust to someone else.

Awwwww Addiebee.... are you going to keep him? Do you have a picture to share with us?
It is scary to let them go... Hope is staying a lot because of love, an a lot because of fear too... I hope he can stay with you Addie, even if as permanent foster

By the way - silly question: what is Hope's gotcha day now: when she first got here, in may, or when now, for her official adoption?
I think she had you at "Hello."
I would use the day you first had her in your care.

What a lovely ending to this thread! I'm so glad this special, beautiful girl is going to live with you. I know you'll bring much joy to her life, and she to yours
Welcome to TCS, Hope!

Aww, yay Carolina! I'm so glad you're keeping her. I think my kitten is a keeper and I've only had her since Friday!
And that last picture of Bugsy and Hope is so cute!!!!!!!

She's SO pretty & will be absolutely GEORGEOUS when she is able to not be so skittish & afraid.(puts on a bit more weight) PLEASE DON'T GIVE HER UP!!! It will gnaw at you forever. Here's the good news: in some counties, there are programs that will spay & neuter your kitties at no cost,
and SOME of the vets who participate in these programs ARE willing to take payment plans for necessary shots and all, IF you're able to prove that you can't afford them!
Your home is the only one she's ever known, and you're the only human she's ever been able to trust for this long
and I'm sure that she loves you now.
Of course, I'm one of those who says to "keep them no matter what-better they have a loving home with you..."
Good luck-please keep her. I wish you all the best!!!

Carolina - I'm glad you kept her. If you can afford pet insurance and afford regular month to month expenses then you should be fine. Any big health emergencies should be mostly covered under insurance, so you should be fine.
Congratulations on the new addition

I understand the fear. I had two fosters with me on Sunday to show... they were yowling and crying in the back seat and I was blubbering up front behind the wheel. I almost had to pull over I couldn't take it! And they belong to rescue I am going to leave... I am afraid they won't get the right care once they are out of my hands.
