Got off a video call with the humane society. We got final approval to adopt the cats!
They are very very picky about who can adopt their adult-caught formerly feral cats, since they're more challenging than a well-behaved kitten, but they apparently had a meeting about me and my husband and concluded that we know enough of what we're doing to give them a good home. ๐ฅบ
Hearing that made me feel like I could finally breath after holding my breath. We pick up the kitties next Monday after filling out some paperwork and taking two of them to their final humane society vet appointment. Then we bring them home, put them in our newly furnished cat room, and begin the work of making them comfortable.
