I agree that 3 years is too long to expect a family to foster a cat and then have to give it up -- much less the trauma to the cat being taken away from another owner --it probably wouldn't even know the person after 3 years. I don't think it's fair to the cat, and that's the most important consideration. If this girl really loves her, she would be willing to let her go to a "forever home", and adopt another needy one when she gets out of school.

I never realized the kind of people who post wanting to get rid of pets on CL until recently and it makes me sick.

Dogs being posted for $400 "re-homing" fees, unneutered/unspayed animals all over the place, litters of puppies and kittens, ugh are there not enough unwanted animals in the world already?

When I was still reading there, there was even a lady posting looking for her lost dog and a person claiming to have said dog contacted her and said they had the dog and wouldn't give it back unless the owner paid a huge sum of money. Just disgusting.

It may be a genuine ad, but all I see is red flags. Why can't the person make living arrangements to bring the cat along, what happens if the cat gets sick or worse.... Will they end up suing? Not to mention the cat has to move twice and get used to different people and surroundings.
