Black cat angst
I haven’t heard from the rescuer so texted her again, and asked if this guy can be treated outside or needs to be confined. I’m clearing my space and buying a cheap tent to make an easy quarantine zone or keep him to be scanned…
But I’ve also told her I’m not feeling confident in the ringworm treatment and asked if she can start looking for backup foster homes because I’m not sure I’m able to take him. I’m also looking for the owners in any way I can.
It’s a hard one. I care about the cat and don’t fully want to give him up. Torn. Keep flip flopping.
I’m just trying to be responsible and let them know to start looking for a placement now rather than bite off more than I can chew and then suddenly need someone else to take him on short notice. Or just stop caring for him because I can’t.
I wish things were different. 😢
