Desperate Help Needed - Noah

[NoahsMommy]

You all know my situation...and I'm getting so close to being back on my feet - about 4 to 6 months away from actually getting my own place and getting my furballs back for good.

But...David is saying that I need to come get Noah and Micah - NOW. I have a place for Micah, but not for Noah. Noah is VERY, VERY, VERY hard to place because (and Gini, Staci, Tonya and Karen can all attest to this) he is very much kinda sorta scary if I'm not there to show him that everything is "OK". He's a 20lb Main Coon and can inflict lots of damage when scared - and scared is what he gets if either I or David are not there.

My parents REFUSE to let me board him again and because I don't have this job set in stone yet, I don't yet have "my own money" to ignore them with. (still waiting to hear that I passed the drug and background check)

I don't know what to do. The only way I see is to board him, but I can't do it financially if I want to get out of here - get my kitties - in 4 to 6 months and end this maddness once and for all.

Any ideas? I have ZERO friends and/or relatives that can/will help, I've already exhausted those resources. Rescues haven't helped and we all know what happened with the Maine Coon Rescue, so I can't use them, especially with Noah's attitude.

Ugh...I'm just so close to getting back to normal....

[NoahsMommy]

I'm getting really scared here. I called Donna (Moosmom) to see if her friend still was interested in Noah...but that doesn't help us in the "now".

I'm even considering putting him to sleep if that is the best option. How horrible is that??? I mean, if I can't find anywhere that will take him (family, friends, anyone) and I can't keep him (now), the next obvious step would be shelters, where he'd be terrified out of his mind. I couldn't do that to him. How cruel.

I don't want to do ANY of this to him, I just want him happy and in a good place...no fear, just with a home and with someone who loves him more than anything, like I do.

Ugh. I hate David for doing this all the sudden. If he KNOWS he needs to be out, why can't he tell me at least give me a day or two notice, not a few hours!!! What a jerk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!

This just all seems like such a waste that I've held onto all of my babies for over a year and at the last part of this torturous HELL, I'm about to loose my heart-kitty. Why is life so cruel??

Kelly, I wish I knew some way to help. I'm so sorry.

[NoahsMommy]

Thanks, Jazzcat!



I just spoke with my mom and she's "allowing me" to use some of the $$ I have saved for my down payment for an apartment to board Noah for maybe a week. So, he has a week to find a place. Thank God.

I'm off, going to go get Noah and Micah and take them to their spots.

Thanks so much for your prayers guys, I'll need them.

[Zippy]

Prayers for you and Noah.

Kelly, would you tell me how much a week's worth if boarding is going to cost?

[dukedogsmom]

I wish I could do something. If there is a possibility of him staying longer with your mom, I'd be willing to put in some money for it.

I am willing to help.

I asked Kelly earlier (I hope she does not mind me mentioning this here in answer to the questions) and she said it's $8 a day to board him. I'd like to help as well.

[zippy-kat]

count me in, too

[caseysmom]

Maybe we can get the name of the boarding facility and send them money.

[ramanth]

I'd like to help with the boarding costs too. *HUGS*

[Cinder & Smoke]

It's $8 a day to board him.

I'll "treet him" to a couple days At the Spa ---
Somebody figure out where to send the Green and let us all know!

[carole]

Yes please let us know where to send any donations to help.

[Karen]

I sent a PM to Kelly asking for the contact info for the "Spa."
