Tomorrow one of my two tux fosters goes into residence and I can’t stop crying.
It is a mostly foster based, absolutely no kill shelter. She is going in and sometime later her brother, mostly to socialize them more and the likes. I have been fostering her and her sibling for over half a year now and I feel torn to pieces. I can’t keep her or her brother because I already have 2 cats and two dogs and as of a week ago a newborn.
I am grappling with the guilt of her feeling abandoned, but it was always the plan for her to go to her forever family and I have to do the responsible thing and let her go.
My husband keeps trying to make me stop crying by telling me we can manage two more cats but I know the quality of care is higher if she finds her dedicated forever home and also I will be able to help foster more in the future, but she feels like MY CAT. She brings me my socks when she wants my attention, she loves my newborn and talks (mews) to me all the time.
Anyway I just needed to let my guilt out.
