    I'm so sorry this happened. There's no reason to blame yourself.

    Thank you for all you do fostering the kittens. I have friends who do that so I know how heartbreaking it can be.

    Thank you for fostering.

    Everyone please spay neuter your pets. There aren't enough Smilingcat families and good homes for all. And if you're thinking of a pet please adopt a shelter pet.

    On behalf of my mutt (who likes cats if they are "her" cats) we thank you.

    Here my contractor takes a "kitten break" while Mae watches Hoodie, H's abandoned feral kitten. Mae'd been licking the kitten a moment earlier.

    *note, yes I've gotten rid of that rug.

    To Trek420-
    Are those the 3 things you love the most in the whole world? Your bike, your cat and your dog! What a cute picture!
    My brother just told me he is considering getting a "used dog" Meaning, a shelter dog. I thought that was cute!

    Well my contractor is not one of my 3 favorite things (though if you're lurking, H, you are doing a great job). She fostered this kitten, we were going to adopt but .... she fell in love with the kitten. So while glad to play a part in socializing the kitten, Mae misses the kitten, I get to visit.

    Hoodie who turned into a great cat, fearless, playful, great with dogs.

    Used dogs/cats rule!! I think they know they've been given a second chance by volunteers like Smilingcat, and they reward you. Get a used pet, don't even look at the odometer

    There is something you can do. You can tell everyone in the pet industry in your neck of the woods this woman's name and any other info you have about her.
    Here in the state of washington we have a "DO NOT ADOPT" list
    and even if we SUSPECT something is not right, we circulate that person's name.
    PLEASE share information with all the foster cat ladies and the local humane society and whomever else is in a position to adopt out pets. If she really did these cats harm, she'll do it again. In the name of your dearly departed, you owe it to the rest of the cat nation to spread this woman's info around.

    Thanks

    Please don't let one bad experience stop you from doing all of the good work you do. Sometimes people suck

    Please dont be hard on yourself for the actions of other careless people. You do a wonderful thing by fostering and loving the kittens. Then it is up to someone else to take proper care of them. Try to remember how many kittens you have raised that have gone to wonderful homes.
