Hi all! Well the feral girls are doing well and recovering quickly. Of my own four cats, only two showed symptoms and are not getting worse thank God!! Hope it stays that way.
Here is my new dilemma. My plan for these girls was to get them socialized and ready to go to the shelter kitten room for adoption. That time has come much too quickly for my comfort. I am quite attached to one of the three and will probably add her to my family of four. Her name is Fern. And Pixie is so brave and endearing I am finding it hard to bring her to the shelter too. She is the first to try everything life has to offer. She is trying to type right now as I sit here posting this. She is very curious despite the rough start in life. It amazes me. How can I let them go? I have never had such an experience like this before and it has brought me such joy to watch them blossom. Is this selfish on my part? How will this affect my own cats? Were these kitties meant to stay with me?
I do know Pixie would get adopted though because she is so out-going. Maybe I should let her go with Avery to the shelter and keep Fern. Fern gets along quite well with the others and my boss cat Pipsqueak seems to tolerate her. Pipsqueak is in the room too and is doing fine with the girls. Even pounced on Pixie's tail. Oh dear what to do. I do have the time for all of these cats and the finances to care for them. I just don't want my own cats upset by this. A
Though they have seen them and smelled them for over a month now so I am slowly getting everyone used to each others smells.
This was not the plan! But is there ever a plan that really goes as planned in our life with cats. I would love to have a life with these special kitty's and the story on how they came to be is amazing to me. Thanks for listening and please send me good vibes while I try to decide what to do. I only have a few days to decide or will loose my spot at the shelter.
