Yes, I think I told this story before, but when I fostered and worked adoptions I would NEVER adopt out a cat/kitten to a family with very young children. I broke my rule ONE time for a family with ONE young boy (about 4 or 5) who seemed very calm and very good with my foster. Well...... a YEAR or TWO later the lady calls and says that Annie was not working out very well. She hid under the bed all of the time and was afraid of her son. I told her I was coming to get my cat. NOW. lol. And I still have little orphan Annie now. She wasn't a 'tiny' kitten because I never adopted out under 9-12 weeks, but she is still skittish to this day. I always wonder if it's just her personality or because of the time she spent with her not forever family. I still worry about other fosters I've placed over the years and wonder if they're being taken care of. I just can't foster anymore. What comes here stays here.... unless I personally
know the person adopting. Like, maybe, Brenda Smith! or you! lol.

Hi Tonya - you got that right. I thought it was a good home. I know she
wanted to do the right thing, and that she was ignorant of these
issues. But I would NOT of course, have euthanized a cat because of a
bladder stone...
Sigh...
