UGGGGG........
I love what I do for these kitties and will probably do it for life, but it gets so frustrating at times.
I got a call from a girl last night that had adopted two of my foster kitties (a brother and sister pair). It turns out that she found them both to be too much and wants to return one of them to me. We do have a "trial" policy that allows them to bring a cat back within three days if things really don't work out (and of course they can bring them back anytime; but just not get their donation back). Anyways, I just think that she is jumping too quickly into this "return". I know that several cats can be overwhelming at first, but once your routine is down, it's a snap. I KNOW this girl and I know that she would be a great cat mom, she's just too emotional right now. I wish I could get people to understand that it takes time to adjust (for both you and the cats).
Sometimes people call me because the cat hides for the first couple days.....duhhhh,.....he/she's just been moved from one house to another. It takes time to adjust.
Okay, i'm off my soapbox now.
