I'm not sure if I am in the right section. this is my first post and it's 3 am so I'm a little loopy but can't sleep due to anxiety about my foster kitties.
About a month ago I took in my first 3 foster kitties at 4 weeks old. They are now about 10 weeks and still with me. The organization I got them from are working hard on finding them a home but the thought of breaking them up is breaking my heart. I know no one is going to adopt all three day in and day out I watch them play and love and cuddle. I feel awful because one minute they are loving life with me and then the next bam they are all going to be separated. I guess I didn't think this through when I decided to foster because instead of feeling good about it I'm feeling sad and guilty and stressed! I wish they would have given me a family in even numbers so I could at least send them off in two's but they didn't.
I just can't forgive myself at even the thought of separating them or even worse only separating one from two!
I love them a lot and want to keep all three myself to avoid this separation but I already have three of my own. 6 cats is a lot. I keep trying to rationalize it in my head but I know in the long run I'm just going to be broken hearted and miserable.
If I sent two off to a new family do you think the third would be okay with just me? I don't know what to do.
Does anyone have any experience in this and is willing to send some advice.
Thank you
