Hello everyone
5 days ago I was taking a walk with my girlfriend in thw eventing when we found two kittens by the side of the road. We took them to her place, examined them and they seemed to be around 1-2 months of age. They were cool with us, played, cuddled and they stayed with her for 3 days. Then I took one in, as in adopted him, because I felt like we've bonded. Now I realise that I don't have enough time for him. He's been with me for 3 days and I don't think he can stay. I've bought him a bed, wet and dry food, litterbox, litter, toys, a toy sheep, I play with him regularly, feed him, he seems very happy and sleeps with me. Problem is, he can't always find the litterbox, he steps into the poop in the box and stains furniture, my bed, my clothes which I have to wash. That would be fine if I was always home, but I work a stressful job(engineer) and want to spend time with my gf which means I would have to sacrifice something. When I think of putting him in the bathroom while I'm away(I live in an apartment) Infeel sick and guilty, same goes for nights. He regularly wakes me up even though I try to tire him before bed, plus the poo surprise, so I sleep 4 hours a day and when I get home, I have to clean the mess.
I don't know what to do, I want him to be happy, but also want to keep my life functioning. I have a friend who fosters cats(if that's the expression) and I could give him to her for adoption, but I feel like I'd be letting him down, that cute baby who cuddles with me all the time. But on the other hand, I can't seem to manage it with him at home.
Would it hurt him if he got put into adoption? I'm scared he'll end up somewhere where he'd be unhappy.
I really feel like shit and don't know what do to.
Would it be a bad thing to do to give him to my friend? I feel like I'd be letting him down.
