At...As a fellow foster parent, I'm adding this…<br />At the rescue I foster for, the fosters have complete control over who adopts their kittens. I like doing it this way because the fosters know what situation will suit their kittens best, but it also means there's a greater burden on the foster - it's often difficult to decide whether to adopt to someone, and there have been many people that were rude to me (or worse) because I didn't think their situation would be a good match for one of my kittens.<br /><br />Anyway, last year I had a pair of kittens that were very bonded. I really wanted them to be adopted together, and I had a few different people that wanted both of them but those fell through. The kittens had been up for adoption for several months when a person wanted to adopt one of the kittens by itself, and I let her adopt the kitten because it was a good home and she had another cat to be a companion for the kitten. The other kitten was adopted a few days after that. I wish I could've placed them together, but they were both good homes where they'd have other cats for companionship and I knew if I'd held on to them longer, it would've gotten harder for them to be adopted as they'd gotten older.Kelseyhttp://threetinytabbies.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3859669.post-11542687400659874192016-08-08T12:46:22.609-04:002016-08-08T12:46:22.609-04:00My intent for this post was not to criticize, but ...My intent for this post was not to criticize, but to share what has happened so if it happens to someone else they can have some sort of reference for what someone else went through.<br /><br />The shelter has done amazing work, to the point of becoming an open admission no-kill shelter. When I started fostering, their adoption rates were very low. Such a dramatic change in a little over a decade. While no place is perfect, they do their best.

I can mention what I have observed and my opinions, but in the end, I am not the one adopting them out, they are.<br /><br />I feel as you do, trust me, but there is a reason I don't run a shelter of my own :) Fortunately, I believe they were blessed and someone who is interested is coming to see them.

Corrie is obviously suffering long term effects of her spay and any Doctor would tell you the success of a cat with special needs future emotional and physica well being is related to their happiness and comfort, lack of anxiety. Being she and Rose have shown signs of bonding since the beginning and she has gravitated toward her for comfort since her surgery, to separate them would be cruel and detrimental to both of their emotional health, which ultimately affects their physical health. <br />PLEASE do more than mention it to the intake person, can you speak to the shelter manager and express your concern and belief that it is vital they stay together, especially now that Corrie has these issues? I have no doubt that two cute look a like sisters, one with special needs would get adopted no problem. I see rescues on social media all the time who have had similar cases and people love these type of stories, and the pairs were adopted right up. <br />Their age is also on their side, as kittens always go fastest and first. I think it is cruel and against everything rescues claim to stand for if they do not put them out to adopt as a bonded pair. Part of a shelter's mission is not only to save lives and find homes for animals, but to advocate and provide for the overall well being of their health. The well being of Corrie's health involves her close bond with Rose and it is the shelter's duty to provide her with positive future health which means they need to adopt them out together. I ask you as a Mom of special needs kitties both at the Bridge and currently, to advocate strongly for these girls-- don't give up!<br />If you need help sharing their story, please let me know and I am willing and able to get the word out, as I am certain others who follow your blog would too. <br />Thank you for all you do to help these little souls and for hearing me out. My intent is not to demand or criticize, I apologize if my devotion for cats with special needs comes across this way. I admit I get a bit passionate. 😻 My kitties and I will be keeping our paws crossed and send healing purrs to Corrie.

You remember Hoppy, the kitten that I posted about on my blog that had to have his leg amputated? Well, something similar happened to him after the leg was amputated. His head shakes and he doesn't walk a straight line. The foster told me that the head shake had gotten better but when I last saw him a few weeks ago, it was still there. They were giving him some pretty strong pain drugs though - I have never heard of it happening with a routine spay. I hope she makes a full recovery, poor girl... :(Kelseyhttp://threetinytabbies.comnoreply@blogger.com
