Can someone please tell me how in the hell I am supposed to reply to this message I just received without being nasty?!?
"Hi Kailie, I have the biggest hugest reget EVER! After we seen Penny at your place Jeff& Addy were so impatient about waiting and they wanted a cat but we did intend on getting Penny and a female kitten. We purchased a cat at the pet store unintentionally as we were tehre getting fish food and it's not a loving cat, nor cuddly cat...no connection at all...My daughter loves it even though it runs away from her all the time. Each time I see you post with Penny's picture my heart breaks and I have guilt because we SHOULD have picked her and her and her baby. We made a mistake."
Not really sure what she WANTS me to say? These were the people who came to see Penny when she first came to me, pregnant. At first they told me THEY wanted to foster her, then they worried about if something happened during the labor, etc, and said it would be best that she stayed here but they fell in love with her and wanted her and one of her kittens when they were ready.
Now they have a kitten they have no connection with, wouldn't surprise me if they end up getting rid of it, because of a stupid impulse PET STORE purchase. I mean, if you really WERE that impatient and couldn't wait a couple months, go to the shelter and let the kitty pick you! Penny LOVED these people, and I thought they connected so well! I know I tend to get a little too emotionally involved in my fosters, and I can't help that, but I really have no idea what to say to this lady without getting nasty.
I also had the woman who wanted Penny's kitten, Nickel, tell me she changed her mind about adoption because it is "too much trouble" to drive the 40 minutes to a vet who sponsors the SPCA spay/neuter program. Well then lady, if the kitten is not worth a little bit of a drive, then YOU don't deserve to have her! ARGH!
