+4

Saying goodbye is hard even in the best situations, but saying goodbye when you barely got to say hello can even be harder. 



What are we rambling all about, well the +3 and their momma have found new homes.  Are we happy about this fact?  NO.  We are even more unhappy that the person who Weinie belongs to never gave her the proper care she needed, gave her shots, and spayed, and basically just let her wonder all over the neighborhood until she ended up on our porch.



Four kittens later, they are now old enough for their new forever homes, and our momma is mad and sad. 



We are making sure they are going to the best forever homes we can find, where they will be safe and well taken care of, but that does not make a goodbye any easier.  One kittens new owner had just lost her older cat. The woman was so excited that she had already went out and bought food, toys, litter, and a cat tree.  We think little climber is going to be very happy with her. 

Then we have some friends who just bought a new farm here in this county.  They have a eleven year old daughter who loves kittens and they needed some good mousers for the barns.  They wanted two kittens, but when they saw momma with them, asked if she could go also.  They are very kind people,  and today are making an appt. for momma to go to the vet next week to be spayed.  Mom felt better that the kittens will have their momma with them, but she also felt horrible about letting them go.



Mom told me this is why it is important to make sure you take care of YOUR dogs and cats, that you are responsible for their care and well being and why you don't just turn them lose to fend for themselves. 

I told mom I faught we were going to keep them, but momma said we couldn't keep all of them, because they have us, and she knows her limit.........and we have dad.  Enough said.

We have sure enjoyed these kids, and you can bet we will be checking up on them, to make sure they are happy and well. 

She stayed.

  4. Hi Stella
    I am so happy the +4 found forever homes. It is really a good thing your momma did housing and caring for them. I do not believe cats should be left to wander the neighborhood to fend for themselves. If they are your pet, bring them inside and make them loved.

  16. It is very hard to say good bye,but you and your Mom have to know what a difference you made for the +3 and their Momma. We hope that cutie at the end of your post adjusts well to life without his siblings. Hugs.

  17. We thought when you said that the +3 and their momma found new homes that you might be keeping one of them. She sure is a cutie. Does she have a name yet?

  20. We think you and your Mama are the BESTEST temporary family a kitty could have and Weiner sure did pick the right house to sit in front of!!

    Plus...you still have =1...and she/he is totally adorable!!

  21. She's cute, aye, and not at all scary like the Dietz. I'm glad she's staying. Is that her name. SHE ... it kinda suits her!

  22. We are excited that you got to keep one!
    We are sad to see the 3 + momma go (mostly because they aren't coming here!). We hope they will be fine and loved in their new homes.

  23. Yes, you take them in "until" but when the time comes, it is painful to part with them because you've come to love them. So one stayed and the rest found a home, including Weiner? You're going to miss them.

  24. I'm so glad that Wienie and +3 found their homes. We're even more excited that Baby Scribbles is staying with you!!!

  25. We're so glad they all found good homes! You did a good thing taking Wienie in, even though she tried to take over once.

  26. The little gray one stayed. Lee's first pet was a kitty from a stray that was dropped off and found it ways to her grandmothers farm. I think you found wonderful homes for all. Bless their Pea-Pickin' Hearts.
    Thanks for being a friend
