So hi everyone....this is a bit long sorry, I'm an architecture student, and i have 5 cats . So basically i have 5 cats , 1 dog and lots of pet fishes. My brother takes care of the dog and i am in charge of cats and fishes. I bought them home in my own will. So yhh an extra member more than this was an absolute no no at home. But 2 days ago I rescued a kitten from the street. She was so skinny she was struggling to walk. She was a black kitten, full black and i always wanted one. So yhh i wasn't planning anything i just wanted to check on her but her health looked like she will die in 2 days in the streets so , i don't know my brain didn't think critically afterwards it was in automatic mode ... I asked a nearby Shop for a cardboard box, made holes and kept her tied it up and came home. Tbh I was so scared that my heart was in my mouth. But thankfully my brother helped me to get her upstairs without parents noticing.
No one comes upstairs it's my area kind of with cats , my 5 cats are indoor cats so they have their own room and an attached catio to the terrace. So yh i took the kitten to another room since it's dangerous to keep her with my kids.
So actually my 1st thought was fostering, since i don't have a job now and I'm living with my pocket money monthly. But then brother was like u love black kittens right so let's keep it. I'm still confused about what to do actually. I will take her to vet for a checkup in 2 days I'm currently having exam.
So today I just informed my mom, i haven't told my dad yet because I'm scared. But I will eventually some day 😅🥲 , my mom was so pissed like who will marry you with 6 cats , no boy will ever want you etc etc... which actually made me sad a bit. I just felt like a curse i have towards animals, I can't ignore animals I care for them deeply, but I cried a lot today bcz of that, just felt cursed in such a household.
So my main concern now is should I foster it or keep it. In the future wherever I'm going my kids will be with me, so I'm confused. Will any apartments for rent except a girl with 5 or 6 cats . So I'm thinking about the future and I'm a bit worried about what to do.
So should I keep her , or foster her guys ?
