I have just hand reared my first litter of abandoned babies. They were dumped on the vets doorstep in a box at 2 weeks old. The vets was so overwhelmed with abandoned babies that they asked me to take these ones.
They are now 6 weeks old and have grown into amazing young kittens. Healthy and strong. They all have such wonderful personalities.
How do you let them go after being with them 24/7 for so long? I have 2 of my own already.. and I'll probably keep one of the babies. But I'm going to be an emotional wreck! I get teary eyed just thinking about it.
The other thing that worries me is that the vets has told me they'd like me to do this regularly which is great! I adore doing this. But I just cant keep them all!! How do you make sure the homes are good? How do you say no to a prospective new owner? Do you wonder about them years later whether they are ok?
How do you let go?
