Hi all,
I could really use some advice on this one.
I'm fostering a sweet kitty who is about 8-10 years old. He had a nasty URI when I first rescued him but, touch wood, he's been fine lately.
I've had a hard time finding him a home but now I actually have 2 people who are interested in meeting him (I'll just call them A and B). 'A' has said she wants to adopt him from the info I provided and the website pictures (they haven't met). She has sent me several emails and seems very knowledgeable and interested. She also says she works as a vet tech (I can only assume what they tell me is correct, I don't know for sure) and has no kids. She also has 2 kittens at home that I don't think would be an issue since I have cats too.
Sounds perfect, right?? Well yesterday she sent me an email to say that her kittens have a URI. If everything is true then I wouldn't mind waiting a week or 2 if she wanted to put a deposit down, BUT BUT BUT
my question is how did the indoor kittens get the URI?? My fear is that if she works as a vet tech then she could be bringing home uri's (or worse).
The other person (B) emailed me a week or so ago and said they would be interested when they got the money for the adoption fee. They emailed me again yesterday and said they would now like to meet. I'm probably being paranoid but if you don't have money for the adoption fee, can you afford the vet bills and good food? Or were they just waiting for payday??
So what should I do?
If 'A' is what they say they are then I think they'd be a wonderful home except for the URI thing. She has said several times how much she would like to adopt him and seems really kind and loving towards cats. I don't know anything else about 'B', I emailed to ask if there are other pets or small kids in the house.
Any insight or input would be appreciated!!
