Nero returned
Jun. 7th, 2022 05:44 pmI started my fostering experience with a litter of three kittens plus their mom. Mom and the boy kitten got adopted (by two different families) and I kept the two girls.
Today at lunch I got a call from the Humane Society. They said a cat had been surrendered to them by the owner, and when they scanned for the microchip my info was still in as the owner. It's Nero. 11 months after his adoption, he's ownerless again.
The rescue I worked with has a policy that we will take back any cat, and so Thomas (the guy who adopted Nero) should have called us instead of surrendering him to the Humane Society. Whatever. Either way I feel anguished about it.
I can't take him back into my household. I think he's staying at the Humane Society and hopefully will be adopted out from there. Not the outcome I wanted for him AT ALL and it's hard to put into words how low this made me feel today.
