I have to find homes for my fur babies!

Hi Tess I just went through something similar. Honey, it's your life or theirs. Take them to a shelter if need be. You are suffering by worrying what to do. This worrying will bring on an atack as quickly as anything. The pain is going to be there, no matter what you do. Is there a friend or family member who can help by taking them for you? My little mini doxie was shaking constantly and my husband suffers from severe asthma since he was 3 and also has copd. I too was afraid I had to find another home. He's been my baby boy from birth for 9 years. I was devastated. We finally took him to the vet and she said he had an ear infection. As soon as I began treating him he almost completely stopped the shaking. My husband and I were so relieved!! Then 3 to 4 days later someone started poisoning him a little at a time. I thought he was having an epileptic seizure. He's had them in the past. It was different though. The fourth day he was paralyzed and I grabbed him up and we rushed him to the vet. That's when she told me he had been poisoned, there was no hope. My heart was crushed and so was my husbands. That was Thursday. I'm still in shock. Sweetie, don't make yourself suffer any longer than necessary because there will be more to come afterwards. My heart goes out to you.xoxoxoxoxo leenie

Oh how sad. I know this is very hard on you having to do this. I am not sure what I would do in your case. If I had to get rid of my cat it would break my heart, she has been with us for over 14 years now. I know you don't have family here so that is out of the question. Have you ask any of your neighbors? I would hate to see you have to put any to sleep only because of no place for them to live and having to get rid of some. Have you called any other no-kill shelters that are around you but not in your town?

My four cats are all indoor/outdoor cats. If yours became that way that would be the same as having one half as many cats in the house.

Have you considered posting them on Petfinder http://www.petfinder.com/ You might want to look there and see if there are any rescue groups you can contact in your area.

Check with your local Pet Smart They might have the number of a place that can help you take to. With your Health the Shelter should have taken them. I know how you feel about the cats, I have 18. I have been trying to get rid of them too. I have been able to give away 7 so far. It's been very hard because I have fallen in love with every one of them. I am sorry that I couldn't help you any more then that. I don't know how to get in touch with the SPCA that they show on TV that rescues animals when people can't take care of them any more or when they have been neglected. Good Luck and Please take care of your self. God Bless
