I got Fudge a year ago through a privately-arranged surrender. Her previous owner could no longer take care of her due to housing issues. When I first adopted her, I had a work from home job, but about 7 months ago I started a new job that has me out of the house for 8+ hours a day. She is showing signs of anxiety (thinning hair, destroying household objects) and clearly needs more time and attention than I can currently give her. I tried sending her to daycare but it was cost prohibitive for me and the behaviors persisted so it really wasn't worth it. I live alone and I'm finding that the stress of trying to provide for Fudge's needs, to no avail, is getting to be too much for me to handle. It makes me so sad to give her up, but I know that I am at my max capacity and can't give her what she needs and deserves.
