Ugh I'm too emotional

So on May 20th, my cat had 4 kittens, and ever since birth we've had them. And, over that time I've fallen completely in love with these kittens and I just love them SOOOO much (a little too much lol), but sometime this week, we have to give them away... And no one had asked for them yet and I was happy cause I got to have them for a longer time. But earlier today my sister messaged me saying that my cousin's friend was interested, and she wanted pictures of them. So I sent pictures and she told me that our cousin's friend wanted the oldest one. And I suddenly felt this pang in my heart, and it hurt a lot. And I didn't know what I was feeling so I just spammed stuff about his personality and how he is and literally everything about this kitten. But throughout it, I started crying... a lot... But is it wrong to feel this way? But over the time I've had these kittens, I've bonded with them and I just became so committed to caring for them and it hurts to know that I have to give them away. I even laid down by their mother and cried to her, and then I thought about how confused she's gonna be when she can't find her babies anywhere. But then one day, she'll just.... forget about them... And I know that would be for the best but just thinking about how she'll wake up one day and will she even remember having kittens? It just... makes me really depressed...

Sorry if there's a grammar mistake, I'm sad ┗( T﹏T )┛

    Just know that that kitten will be okay, and it’s okay if ur feeling sad n depressed cuz u basically helped raised it. And since it was part of ur life, you love it as if it were ur own child. And having to give ur own child away, hurts like a bitch....rn, think positive for that kitten and just know that the mother will only lose 1 instead of all 4 at the same time.

    i once fostered two guinea pigs named cuddles and marley and i adored them. i had them for quite some time, (about a year) and i bonded so much with them. i learned they hated the dark (they would squeal without a nightlight) and they hated being apart. they liked being outside and eating dewy grass. eventually i had to give them back. after all, they weren't mine. i only had them because their family couldn't take care of them. when the day came, i couldn't stop crying. they were smelly and cleaning their cage was the worst. but i loved them. i refused to eat for awhile. i didn't want to give them back. it had been ingrained in my mind they belonged to me. i was the one who had taken care of them. i'd had them for most of their lives. i found out they died shortly after i returned them, because they were also sad they had to leave me. this was years ago (i think its been 6 years!!!) and i still get choked up thinking about them. so, yeah, it's gonna be hard to get rid of your kitties. my cousin owned 10 dogs (6 puppies she raised from birth) and she got rid of 8 of them. she tried to give them to people who would let her visit. even now she talks about how she wishes she could keep them. animals are living creatures, they'll miss you as much as you them. it will be hard, but cherish the time you spend with them and hold on to those memories ╥﹏╥
