6. I wish I COULD keep her!

I love her very much, as I've loved all my foster (in different ways). But my husband is extremely allergic to cats and has set down a firm "NO INSIDE CATS" law. I have to respect it, and that's why I have barn cats and keep fosters in my studio. I adore Bridget and I'm busy readying her for a new home.

Before Bridget, there was Sarai (who has since been adopted by two JMU girls) and before Sarai was Em (who went to a rescue). After Bridget, there will be others, either aged or infirm. Bridget came to me with an upper respiratory infection, and now has the (suspected) ringworm. The URI is done with, but I keep her until the ringworm is either cured or dismissed as not being there. Then she goes back, and a new one comes. It's like foster kids.
