Found a New home for my Foster

This must have been the 50th foster or more I have done, and she was probably the one I liked most out of all of them. But knew that I could not keep a 3rd cat due to staying in an apartment, college, and so on. And even if I stayed at home.. my mom had thyroid cancer and had to have her thyroid removed which made her very sensitive to long haired cats. I remember when she woke up one night and had problems breathing so I had to decide on finding my last foster a home. I hope I am not being selfish. Sometimes I feel that I am putting her through another house change with a new person... a new routine is unfair - that part makes me feel the most upset.

I exchanged at least 20 emails with this person who wanted to adopt her and did a background check too. One thing I did do is make dang sure she went to a good home. I had Crystal for one year as a foster. She was in so bad of shape when she came in with over 15 ticks in her ears (can you believe that?) and upper respiratory infection. She was also pregnant. I saved her and the baby from being pts.

I know I found her a great home today, but it is hard. The courage to break my own heart in order to help others sure hurts, but it is worth it. The adopter drove 3 hours away to see her, because they fell in love over her picture.

If you could, please offer some encouraging words... it would be very much appreciated. Here is Crystal who found her home today finally.

Oh you have absolutely done the best thing for this cat!  You are correct - it takes courage to break your own heart to do the right thing.  And Crystal is benefitting from it.  Personally, I think you deserve a pat on the back, lots of hugs and a huge medal!

What you did for this very lucky cat was completely selfless. I can see why the adopter would fall in love. She's a very beautiful girl. Animals don't forget a kindness and you gave her so many. You not only did a wonderful thing for Crystal but for her new family too. You put Crystal's needs before your own. She will love you forever for that.
