Is 6 cats too many?
I currently have 4 cats. I’m adopting another one in a week that greatly needs a home, and is a littermate to one of my cats. Now I found out my friend’s drug addicted mom’s cat had kittens, and needs a home for one in a couple months.
Both of the cats are in dire need, and I feel I could absolutely provide an amazing home for all my kitties. However, I feel guilty, or like I’m doing this all wrong. I love and care for cats, and my partner and I absolutely love being surrounded by them at all times. We can provide plenty of food, enrichment, attention, litter, etc. We’re shortly going to be moving into a bigger place as well. We’ve just started an emergency savings fund for surprise vet visits. My biggest fear is not providing them a happy, healthy, loving home.
I’d just like someone’s honest opinion. Should I not adopt this kitten? I already have my cat’s littermate adoption all set up with the rescue. Is 6 cats too many for my partner and I? I’m worried for this kitten.
