Title: My first rehoming - Juliette
Post by: Gillian Harvey on October 08, 2010, 13:04:15 PM
Juliette is going to her new home tomorrow - this will be my first rehoming since I started fostering in May (and she's been with me since then) - I'm so pleased for her and its a great home, she's going to be living with another cat who's blind (he's not gonna know whats hit him lOL!  :evillaugh: ) and a couple of gentle dogs (Ju's lived with dogs before). Can't help feeling sad at the same time though, cos I have a real soft spot for her, daft isnt it? I didnt think it was going to be this hard to let them go, should have known really, soppy aipeth I am  :innocent: .

Great news, well done Gillian. That's why I don't foster cos I would be hopeless at giving any of them up  :rofl:

Great news for Juliette - I know just how you feel as have just parted with my first fosters, after six weeks here, not with me as long as Juliette with you - it is a milestone though I think in the fostering world  :hug

Well I've just been in to give them their supper - all that was going round in my head was The Last Supper....... :Crazy: .

I've just heard that someone is interested in Duchess and Bramble too now - all my girls going  :( . But Duchess can't go for a couple of weeks at least anyway because she's on the steroids for that long and we don't know if they are going to work yet either.

Definitely a milestone Chris  :hug:

Gillian, I was totally happy with the new home so hope you are too as that helped a lot, as did the beautiful 4 month old kitten I now have as my next foster.

I'm sure its always really sad to see them go  :hug: :hug:

Just think of the wonderful life they have ahead of them, and that without you, it wouldn't have been possible  :hug: :hug:

I dont often find it sad to see them go (have only cried over one foster cat, and that was cos I was taking her back to the rescue, not to a forever home), as I know they are going to a fab home (I have always had the final say with my fosters). And as one goes off to a new home, it is one more space to help another needy cat, and sadly there is no shortage of them.

Yes I did shed a little tear I must admit.

Hoping Juliette is settled in her new home now. You did an amazing job, Gillian. :hug:

Thanks  :thanks: - I spoke to her new owners a few days after she'd gone and she'd met their other cat already, still not too sure about the dogs (it worried me a bit when they said that) but she was wolfing down her food apparently - so thats always a good sign! And since then I've had an email saying she's well and truly settled in, gets on fine with their other cat and is keeping the 3 dogs in order lol!  ;)
