In late October 2022, I applied to be a floster a cat and see if it was a good fit for me. Very long story short, I started fostering a ten months semi-feral kitten, who could barely walk, rescued from a cat colony in someone's backyard (who will become important later). Despite his attitude, I'd played with him for at least an hour and a half a day and socialized the hell out of him. By ~week 7, after neutering him, his aggression rapidly melted and became the sweetest cat. There were other health issues with him to the point where euthanasia was a serious option. I'd love to adopt him if his health condition continues to be stable. Let's call him Apple.

He has a sister from the same litter, Orange, that would be his "guardian angel". They were always together and protect him from things, etc. The volunteer who has her in the backyard kept telling me she was friendly and she'd be a good companion for Apple.

After asking if perhaps it'd be good for them to be together, there was little communication from her after, and any communication was an excuse or requesting more time. People kept telling me that socializing a feral that that's over six months old would be very, very tough.

Weeks went by and I started to express my doubts and if it's even a good idea to capture and foster Orange. Orange, after six weeks of waiting and one year old at this point, was captured a day after a deadline I told her. Oh, it turns out it took so long because the person wanted to spend more time with Orange since they have a "special bond".

Let's just say Orange is like a wild cat that's just been put indoors and is very territorial and does her own thing. It's been six weeks, and she hasn't made ANY progress with socializion.

Also, she's territorial and will either kick Apple from his resting area and she'll even push him away during meal time and will eat his food. Sometimes, she'll hiss and they'll get in a huge fight with yowling, knocking things over, etc.

A few days ago, I told the volunteers that she's not a good fit here, that she'd be better as a solo cat due to her territorial nature, and I want the rescue organization to find another foster or adopter so I can get a younger cat for Apple to bond and play with. The volunteers freaked out, one of them said I was a bad foster, that I'm impatient, and I should be patient, guilt tripping me,, etc.

A couple of hours ago, I got a message from the head of the organization saying that they demand an in-person visit to check up on Orange and see if she's being treated well. It offends me that they think I'm treating her really bad.

I am just looking out for myself and Apple, I want him to be with a cat that's playful and loving like him. It feels like not only is this rescue organization is trying to guilt trip me, but they're also overlooking all I've done for Orange and especially Apple (even the rescue organization said he was unadoptable).

So...AITA?
