I have fostered mother cats that were so feral and were so damaged they couldn't even safely be integrated into a feral colony / barn cat. it stinks but the idea of opening the door and just letting them run isn't a good idea either, and sometimes putting them down IS the humane alternative. that is not something I want for Elsa. I was so close to tears at even the thought of discussing it because she is not a mean cat, just confused. Fortunately we do have more time..

I can totally respect and admire what yo...Sandra, <br /><br />I can totally respect and admire what you do. You have to remember that I volunteer for an open admission shelter with a large flux of cats and kittens coming in all the time. At any given point in time there are hundred or so kitties up for adoption and a hundred plus in foster care. While the shelter is by no means poor, funds are limited and they service many local communities. Resources put into this cat will not be available to save much more highly adoptable animals (cats, dogs, birds, rabbits, mice, guinea pig, hamsters). It stinks when you need to run a shelter (or anything involving life) as a business, but sometimes you have to. With out the making those tough decisions the shelter would fail and they wouldn't be there to help anyone.<br /><br />Since Elsa has already bitten hard enough to draw blood, she is a severe liability. There are options while she is healthy, but having a kitty with a possible intestinal blockage who won't sit in a cage, who can't go out into the general population, and has ADD and no impulse control, that really should be considered a serious medical reason. At this point she is back with me, she is eating and acting normally (for her) so we don't have to make those decisions right now. <br /><br />I think her trip back to the shelter has actually done her some good. She is a bit calmer, she tends to put herself in 'time out' when she starts getting over stimulated, and I see significant progress in her behavior since she came home. I am by no means ready to say she is safe for the public, but I think at this point I'd feel safer inviting other adults into the foster room.Connie - Tails from the Foster Kittenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01127077337743262149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3859669.post-37678064507302887422012-11-06T10:10:37.968-05:002012-11-06T10:10:37.968-05:00Fingers crossed....it can be so hard when you know...Fingers crossed....it can be so hard when you know there may be a family out there for her, but at what cost?

I have had my cat for 11 years and she plays fiercly and I don't think that is a problem with the majority of people. Sure, everybody wants cuddly cats but we adopted out cats we had to work in gloves with for months. And we are just a couple of volunteers, who finance everything but the spaying and neutering. Every cat eventually finds a proper home. Euthanizing them but for serious medical reasons it's unacceptable for us, no matter the cost (that we pay ourselves). Just my opinion.
