I had a feral mama that had a couple litters of kittens before i could get her spayed. The first litter we decided to keep giving us a total of 7 cats. She then had another litter of 3 that I've been socializing/fostering and they're now (i think) ready for adoption, but I'm having a hard time with the thought of letting them go. 10 cats is a lot of us, even though we have the space and funds to care for them, I know the right thing to do is to adopt them out so I have the space to help more cats. I am screening all potential adopters in hopes of finding the perfect home, but I'm having a hard time thinking about letting them go.

Any tips or tricks to making this process easier?

Finding people that are willing to give you updates that helps a lot. A couple people I have added to facebook so I get regular updates and pics. Its never easy but knowing they have good homes helps.

Thats a really great idea! I've only lived in this state 2 years so I don't know a lot of people and I don't have a large group of friends. I'm in the process of starting my own rescue so I def want to encourage new owners to keep me updated.

I have lived in this state for five years. I can say I have only met a few people I call friends. But I have met more people because of my Cats in the last six months than the other 4½ years.

Ahh that warms my heart 
 I hope I can find homes for them with people that love them as much as I do.
