Another possibility for Andrew

The family that adopted my first foster kitty emailed to see if I had any other fosters because they are considering getting a second young cat – they currently have Pietra, formerly Wink, who is about a year old, and a 15-year-old cat who, well, just doesn’t want to play with Pietra.

After much deliberation, I decided I would tell them about Andrew. I know he would have a good home with them if they decided to adopt him, so…

It still breaks my heart that I can’t/shouldn’t keep him. But I just spent a chunk of change at the vet today for Penny’s annual visit, heartworm pills for both the girls and glucosamine tabs for Pen, and that reminded me of why I don’t need a third cat. I need to focus on the ones I’m committed to caring for.

It still hurts. I wish I felt more certain that I was making the right decision in letting Andrew go. I did decide that I wasn’t going to take him to adoption events anymore but that I would wait and see for a while if the right people came along. I know that Pietra’s owners would be an ideal family for Andrew. They are wonderful people and I felt good about them adopting Wink/Pietra when I met them the first time. Visiting their home just confirmed it.

I don’t think I’ll be doing any more fostering, though. I don’t deal well with saying goodbye to my babies.
