Found this baby in the woods, unsure if I should keep it.
Last night my boys were in the hammock in the back yard and thought they heard some meowing. I called loudly out into the night and heard a very loud meow back. Got the flashlight and shone it into the woods across the street and the meowing got louder. I kept calling and shining my light and eventually this (I’m assuming) 10-12 week old kitten just ran into my arms.
I brought it inside and gave it some food and water and it even used my cats (I have one black cat rn) litter box. My dilemma is that I don’t know if I should keep her. March of last year I had to put my best friend to sleep, he had CKD and it was to a point where prolonging his life would ultimately prolong his suffering. It was the hardest decision I ever had to make and I don’t want to have to make it ever again. BUT This cat has taken to me just like my Artemis did. It’s melted my heart but I’m seriously debating on finding her a home. I’m scared to make that hard decision again if the time comes for that.
Any advice or opinions are welcome. Please be gentle as this is a tough and emotional thing for me.
