Feeling guilty after taking to a rescue
Just need to vent about my guilt. In February, I trapped 4 feral kittens who were around 4 months old. I kept them for a couple weeks hoping to socialize since they were on the cusp age wise, but had no luck. Everyone was spayed/neutered, but before release, one of them decided he absolutely adored me. So I kept them a little longer. 3/4 were so social with me. I’m talking I could hold them like a baby, kiss them on the face, give them belly rubs, so they got taken to a rescue. The other one still needed a little work.
Flash forward a couple weeks later, the one I kept is absolutely thriving and I reached back to the rescue to see when they could take her, and asked how the other three were doing. One of them has an abscess on his face and the other two are in a foster home having a really hard time. I just feel so terrible because they were doing great with me. I know they need time to adjust and it’s only been about a week and a half, but I just feel so guilty they’re all struggling now.
