For them, it would be like having a perpetual cold, possibly thousands of
dollars in vet visits over the course of their lives and of course, they
could be potential carriers, causing a spiral of sickness among other cats
in the shelters and in homes.

I trust the vets' advice and I also trust the SPCA inspector's advice.
Besides, they weren't mine to decide on to begin with. We were fostering
them for an animal control officer. They were rightly his. He made the
decision. We have to live with it.

I stand by the decision of the SPCA. I also stand by my own principles of
not fostering any more kittens. I can not emotionally cope with the loss
or
potential loss.

I still question the SPCA's decision unless there is something here that I
don't know. However, you are not in a position to make the decision -- and
you have my sincere condolences. It must be incredibly painful to be placed
in a position where you must relinquish your charges in that way. As you
said, don't torture yourself.
