YOU DID NOT LET THEM DOWN! You considered their LONG TERM needs above your own wishes and wants. Adoptions through Petsmart are pretty rigorously screened. They will NOT let them go until they are certain they have a safe, loving place. And DO NOT GO THERE. I know how badly you want to see them, and assure yourself that they are ok, but...they are adjusting, and it will only upset ALL of you if you see them there and then have to leave without them, and you will. You COULD call and speak with a volunteer and ask if she could send you a picture, but I don't know if that is allowed or not.
Fosters probably are afraid the kitties will interpret your visit as you picking them back up. They need to get established in a new environment. Just ask for updates. We have a cat Cafe here as well and my cats got adopted from there too. It’s great because lots of people play with them and love on them and they get very special attention there. I didn’t go there because I thought I would want to bring them back home so a friend went. She video taped my kitties regularly and sent me lots of photos. I even got to see a couple of adoptions. The people were holding them snuggled up to their face and cooing at them like a little baby. The cats chose them too. They rubbed all over these people and jumped in their laps , making them love them instantly. I promise that my heart was broken too but when they found great homes, I knew I had done what was right for them. That was the right thing to do. It’s so hard to make that unselfish decision. We really want to keep them but is it fair to them? Give them a chance at a perfect home. They may be the one thing that makes that home complete. Try to think of the day when they are spoiled rotten with snuggles!
