Thinking about the future

Well, I supposed worrying about the future is probably more apt. I am worried about placing these guys. I can't keep them forever. So far, I haven't had a single bite. I am worried that I won't get any bites.
 
These guys are sweet, beautiful, but they are "tainted." It's frustrating but understandable--it's hard enough going into a relationship knowing one partner will die long before the other. It's even harder knowing that that time may be even shorter when you are dealing with an animal with special needs. These guys might not survive a year...or they could live 15! The uncertainty is the achilles heel. There are no guarantees that these guys will live long healthy lives and people don't want to get attached to that which they will lose young.
 
I'm feeling sad and scared tonight. It doesn't help that a fellow fosterer just lost five of her fosters to feline distemper. What a tragedy.
