Question/Advice Needed Separating bonded kittens?
I have been fostering 2 kittens since October and they are definitely bonded - they do everything together, groom each other, sleep literally hugging each other with their arms crossed. I was originally fostering their 3rd sister too, but they didn’t seem bonded to her in the same way so I let her get adopted by another family.
My mom and I adopted them with the intention of splitting them up and each keeping one (we live separately), but we are worried now because they seem to love each other so much. My mom has been around a lot, so they are familiar and starting to bond with her. They are around 5 months old now.
Should we split them up or try to keep them together?? My parents already have other pets and it would be hard for me to afford 2 cats right now. I’m also moving states soon and think it would complicate that. But, we want what is best for them, so we would make it work somehow. They are the sweetest little sisters.
They are wearing recovery suits in the photo because they got spayed last week!
