    I must give up my cats.

    Because of both health and finances, I must move to a home where pets are not allowed. Beau will live with a lady, her family and cats. He will still be mine and I can see him once in a while. Felicia, on the other hand, has never been handled by anyone but me (except the vet) and has never gotten along with other cats. She will never fit in another home and will be put to sleep.

    That's so sad. Can't you find a sanctuary for Felicia to go to? A home where she can live and be taken care of but never adopted?

    I'm so sorry about this Nancy. I will not judge, as only you know what's best for your cats.

    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

    My heart is broken into a million pieces, so I can't even imagine how you must feel. Oh how I wish I knew of a way to help you. {{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}

    Oh Nancy, I'm so sorry to hear this. I know you have thought a lot about what to do, and I'm sure whatever you do will be best for your kitties. I do hope you'll find a wonderful home for Beau - and hopefully there'll be a good home for Felicia too.

    So sorry about your health.

    ((((((hugs))))))

    If I can find a good home for Felicia, they can have her. It's just that you hear about people getting cats and using them to train fighting dogs.

    I have never heard of a sanctuary in my area. I will call my vet and ask him about it.

    If I want so far away in Canada, I would take Felicia.
    She could have the spare bedroom and all the time she neede to adjust.
    I know how I would feel, if I had to give up a Found Cat.
    I am praying that Felicia can find a place where she can be happy.

    Try these Iowa rescues.:

    Heavenly Pet sanctuary

    TLC Animal Shelter--Feline Center

    Raccoon Valley Animal Sanctuary and Rescue

    I did nothing more than look on petfinder for names, but hey , it is a place to start.

    Could you tell me more about felicia? like age and why you think she would not do well with another set of parents.

    I do not wish to make this harder than it is on you, but if we can help, good, right??

    I'm so sorry to hear that you have to move and give up your cats. I think that must be absolutely heartbreaking for anybody. Are you going to be able to keep in touch with us, and let us know how you are? I certainly hope that you can.

    PT is a wonderful resource. Maybe someone here will manage to find a place for Felicia.

    Lots of love and best wishes coming your way.

    Nancy, I have noticed again that you have not been at Pet Talk for quite some time. I am so sorry that your health is not good.

    Your heart must break for Felicia and Beau. I am glad however that you found a home for Beau and hope you will find a place for Felicia as well.
