This is not even partly your fault. You took an entirely reasonable course of action, trusting someone who has been entrusted with the care of other kittens (and is therefore presumed to be worthy of it), and she entirely betrayed that trust. In your position, I would look into the possibility of pressing charges and/or getting the other kittens out of her care - common courtesy dictates that you treat someone else's *inanimate objects* as well as or better than your own; living creatures should be far above that standard. If this is how she treats someone *else's* kitten, how is she treating her own? How is she treating her other fosters?
All that aside, I am so sorry. Sending as much positive energy up to the two of you as I can muster.
