You are an amazing person You have given me a ton to think about and research. Thank you!well, I know you-all are cutting the rescue a lot of slack, but when medical records are available, 10 years old is a heck of a long way from 2, no matter the size of the cat.
I for one am not impressed, but that's because I've heard of this kind of thing before even though I get it, they're in it for her lifetime... Other readers and lurkers, adopters beware as best as you can.
In any case, be that as it may, you still have the issue before you and in your household. I am keeping my fingers crossed that there isn't anything else besides bad teeth and too many food changes, meds, anesthesia and stress.
I hope that you're able to get tummies squared away, that she calms down in a quiet space that's just for her, that your kitten and your kids wear each other out and that you make whatever decision knowing you did the very best by this cat. To me it's telling that she behaves so differently when "an experienced cat person visits" as compared to how she behaves with you, in that she doesn't approach you except minimally.
Maybe this little gal really does need someone else, and
Rather than giving up on her, think about all you've done for her, and the additional gift you might be giving her if you take her back, and have the rescue step up to the plate with a younger feline for you-all.
