I was contacted a couple weeks ago by a volunteer with a cat rescue in our area after I posted an ad on Craigslist looking for a kitten friend for Nora. I got both Nora and Milo off of there, so I figured I would have good luck again. I had no idea we had a cat rescue here, and honestly I cannot afford the fee for a cat under a year at our humane society. I know there are reasons for it, but I just can't afford that PLUS everything else that comes with getting a new cat and taking care of it. I can take care of a pet perfectly fine in the monetary sense, otherwise.
Granted, I had the flu the whole first week after I told them the cat I was interested in and her foster mom contacted me. I lost my voice and was coughing constantly so that didn't make for a conducive phone conversation, plus I was sleeping almost non stop so I just couldn't contact her at first. I emailed the person that first contacted me and explained the situation to her and asked if the kitten was still available, but if she had been adopted I understood. She was too cute, I didn't expect her to still be there. She said that the foster mom was in the same boat so she probably understood.
Since getting better and getting my voice back I have tried to call the foster mom multiple times per day, leaving messages, but have yet to get another call back. The person who contacted me by email (the only person that I have ever had any contact with, besides the foster mom that called me once) assures me she is still up for adoption and says she talks to the foster mom, so I don't understand why she won't call me back. At this point I will have to wait until the week after next to bring a new cat in, b/c Nora gets spayed on Monday and will need to rest.
It is making me very mad!!
I have even inquired about talking to the foster moms of other cats just in case, but every time I bring it up the person I email keeps ignoring me.
I don't know what else to do at this point. *sigh*
