One cat is about all I can responsibly afford and have time to care for
properly. We have 6. It's insane, but there you are.

I just adopted #8, I realize sooner or later I'm going to have to say
no-more. I've said it in the past. First we started w/4, lost one, so I
started fostering, had one kitten, knew he was staying. Started fostering
litter of three - the runt was so sweet and was attached to my first
foster - "what's one more mouth to feed". Got another litter AND their
mother - kept mom. Lost yet another old guy and gained yet another foster.
Just fostered another and fell in love w/the one, he just became "permanent"
Tuesday. Oh I forgot about Bob, he was a "cage break" foster - been in
shelter for a year, why send him back when nobody obviously wanted an
un-perfect cat (he has neuro problems). So he's stayed as well.

I guess I would be the wrong person to ask. :)

Thanks guys for all the great response's, it's so nice to know people
understand how easy it is to fall in love with so many cats.
A lady called today that is interested the the little girl, she's coming
tomorrow, I praying it works out. Then I'll be back to 9 LOL If she
does take her but brings her back, then she's staying, I can't put her
through that again.

Thanks again, and God Bless,

Aimee

I would charge a small adoption fee and also write out an adoption contract
as well. This will weed out the serious people from those who are
happy-go-lucky looking for a free cat, That can only lead to hardship and
possible hurt for the cat.
