I took in a cat off the streets about 2 years ago and have since developed a close bond with her. I had been planning for a few months to move to Korea after graduation for a job, and had saved up plenty of money in order to complete all the necessary steps for taking her with me. However, I took her to my family's house around Christmas time, and an hour and a half car ride traumatized her so badly she got a uti a day into the holiday and stopped eating. I took her to the vet after driving home, and the vet said she seems very nervous and recommended keeping traveling with her to a minimum in order to not stress her out so much. Now I'm feeling so much guilt right now. I don't want to make her feel like I've abandoned her and I don't even want to leave her in the U.S. because I'm so attached to her and I love her so much. On the other hand, I'm worried about dragging her all the way to Korea (14hr flight) when it's not even a permanent solution (I'm only planning on staying for a couple years before moving to a new country). I've got some people I know and trust and that she seems to get along with pretty well wanting to take her, but every time I think about giving her up, I start bawling my eyes out. I never wanted to be the person who gave up a pet because they became inconvenient, but is it selfish of me to want to keep her? I just want her to be happy and healthy and loved.
