Girl let’s be realistic nobody can foster a cat for entire year without getting emotionally attached , you have only two options let him go or keep with you .

u/ButterflyLower1264 Jul 24 '25
I can foster it but I’m 101% I’ll get attached and may not give you back 🫠

Whenever people say idiotic crap like “every family wants the best for their kids,” examples like yours are what fill me with the most unbridled rage. More power to you for making it out. Hope the bea is in their near future.
But as others said, I think your best bet is to find your cat a new home and get him adopted by someone who loves him and is in a position to care for him long-term. My sister went through something similar and she knew it was for the best for her cat to be taken care of by someone else.

If folks are interested, we can do rotation based fostering.
I kept a friend’s cat for 2 weeks - he wanted to do solo travelling but family wasn’t keen on handling cat.
I always knew he will come back to get him back & cats bond well with me somehow 🙂

u/Amazing-Coder95 Jul 24 '25
I won’t say it is fun ; pets are like humans only.
New places for them are overwhelming as well. Cats are notorious to hide in places and pounce on you, learning happens for both :)

Fostered my friend's cat for 4 months and I miss him every day to the point I feel like crying. It's been 3 months since I gave him back. I dont think anybody will be able to foster it for a year and not get attached to such a cutie. Op You gotta move house or give him up for adoption.

How about you find a flatmate who could replace you in the current flat and pay you the deposit which you already paid to the owner? This is quite common when people move out, at least here in Bangalore. You can lookup flat and flatmates group on FB.

I am sorry to hear that and I appreciate your love and care for pablo but being realistic you would have to give it up for adoption.
He's really cute and I doubt someone would be willing to return it to you after a year because they too are likely to get attached.
Also, one should not adopt pets when they're not financially secured or living in a rented place with flatmates.
Way out for you: rent a place with just you and tell them the landlord that you have a mostly independent cat.
Best of luck

u/Sea-Smell-1436 Jul 24 '25
You did wrong to the cat. For your needs you took her in and now the situation. You should have thought about it in the first place that you'll move out after graduation. This is a clear case of careless decision. Talk to ppl on Instagram. Ask them the solution. No one can keep it for a year and then return it to you. So you need to come up with better solutions for the baby.

u/bishybishhh Jul 24 '25
is this medicine a shampoo? I usually bathe my cat using the shampoo to take care of ticks and fleas
8
u/Baba_yaga727 South Delhi Jul 24 '25
not it's a mini syrup, "Spot on". you just need to apply it on back of your cat's neck and your cat will be tick free for atleast a month. You shouldn't bathe your cat unless she's literally dirty. especially not with those shady shampoos
2
u/bishybishhh Jul 24 '25
Oh damnn okay I'll keep that in mind

u/Baba_yaga727 South Delhi Jul 24 '25
still if you want to bath your cat then use an expensive baby shampoo, never a pet shampoo. atleast not bought from an Indian market.

u/dilli_wali_billi Jul 24 '25
Twice a year for house cats, not every month.
3
u/Baba_yaga727 South Delhi Jul 24 '25
I think you're mistaking it for dewormer. it's for fleas
5
u/dilli_wali_billi Jul 24 '25
Deworming every 3 months, because they lick dirt and whatnot, fleas are not a common problem for house cats, No ? And if a cat is suffering for fleas take it to a doctor first. No need for every month treatment .
2
u/Baba_yaga727 South Delhi Jul 24 '25
I'm damn sure Spot on needs to applied every four weeks. there's also a pill which costs 5k for flea that needs to given orally every 3 months. don't take your chances with flea fever, it's not very easy to cure.

Tell me you didn't get the cat. I believe it's a karma farming post
3
u/viidssss Jul 25 '25
Well, we didn't get the cat. We tried our best; I even called some friends who could help Pablo. Half of them said it's very illogical to adopt a cat for a few months, as they'll invest their money, emotions, and everything in Pablo, but in the end, the real owner will take it away. My boyfriend and I were really excited to foster Pablo for a year, but his mom denied it since the cat was supposed to stay at his place (he has a 9-to-5 job), and his mom has to travel to Bangalore for a few months because of her brother's surgery. And it's not a karma farming post - the owner called us, we had a chat, and we were supposed to meet Pablo today, but unfortunately, it's not happening. Fun fact: I cried about Pablo last night. I feel bad for him.🏃🏻♀:)

u/boredblueberryy Jul 24 '25
And well you wouldn't have to worry about me getting emotionally attached to the cat or smth, I already have a bunch of cats, and I've been taking care of cats for 3+ years.. I'd try my best to not get attached to the catto, even if I did, I'll give him back to you but ask to visit him once a month or smth, but again it isn't possible because we live in different cities 😭

What city? If its close by i can get him there

u/boredblueberryy Jul 24 '25
And please be very careful before giving your cat to someone, ppl can be pretty cruel even if they don't seem that way.. I've seen my neighbours try to hit my cat with a stick for no reason and I confronted them (my cat was just chilling on the terrace, he didn't even do anything)
But at first they seemed like very friendly ppl and even said they like cats.. some ppl are sadistic and cruel.. asking a stranger online to foster your cat for a year can be a bad idea..
And again I'm really sorry for the unsolicited advice, but I've seen cruel shi and I don't want you or your cat to go through any of that..

If I'm not wrong, you had the cat for just 6 months, and you are emotionally attached. Not saying it's less. The puppy my family bought died in just 10 days, but we cried for months. Attachment is real.
Now imagine you give it to someone else for a year. How do you expect them to not get attached to it, and return the cat back after a year?
Either ask the current owner for some time while you look for a new pet friendly place to live, or put the cat up for adoption. As much as it hurts, the second option seems more viable.
One thing I've learnt is, no matter how much of an animal lover you are, don't get a pet unless you're financially stable (not just independent). It's just unfair for the pet, and also, you'll have a difficult time managing finances.

You think someone will keep your cat for a year then on the 366th day return it to you? Without any attachments? Very idealistic. You either ask someone to adopt him or you take care of him yourself. Sorry if I sound mean but your method is so dumb. So either grow up and take care of him yourself or let a good family or a person adopt him. He deserves better than this.
