Jojo is adorable and I am sure a bundle of joy. You said your family has been kind enough to take care of him while you are away. Is there anyway they would be able to extend their care-taking if you should decide to go back to school? How about offering them financial assistance while you're in school (if possible) and then that way when you are done with school, you can get him back.
Years ago, when I first got my stray kitten, I lived in a apartment that didn't allow pets. I was faced with the agonizing decision of having to give her away. But I couldn't do it. I was in the process of looking for another apartment because I couldn't give my cat away. For me it worked out because the apartment manager let me keep her, of course I lost my deposit.
I know how tough it is to go to school and work full-time. It is very time consuming. I would work from 7-4:00pm and then attend classes from 6-10pm. I didn't get home until sometimes 11:00 at night only too get up and do it all over again. I did this for almost 4 years. On weekends and nights off from class, I did homework.
I can feel how much you love him through your post and if I lived closer I would take him in a heartbeat. |
