These two candy kittens have been introduced into my program individually seven years in the past. Each on the shy aspect, they met in my foster room and bonded immediately. I knew that they wanted one another.
After I handed them off to their adopter, I felt it was the appropriate house, and so they have been socialized and prepared. I shared with their adopter how helpful it could be to proceed dealing with and holding them typically.
Sadly, the e-mail I acquired from their adopter in early December, seven years later (!), left me sick to my abdomen. She described them as “feral kittens” and stated she couldn’t deal with or maintain all of them these years. She claimed they weren’t bonded in any respect. Then she stated that a couple of years in the past, she’d entrusted them to a buddy when she needed to transfer, however now the buddy was transferring and will now not take care of them. She additionally knowledgeable me that she explored taking them to shelters, however no shelter would settle for “feral” 7-year-old cats.
