There are probably several of us in the Houston area and many of us help to place 'regular joe's (and jane's) every day. However, until we have some kind of contact information no one will be able to help your parents. I did some checking around and there are dozens of rescues out in that area which btw is a good bit north of Houston. We can't just go calling each rescue and asking if they need help.

To me 'regular joes' would mean tabbies, blacks, black and whites, etc. But then you mention something about them not being winners in a cat show. Are some of these cats special needs with things like blindness or missing limbs?

People are willing to help but we can't do anything until we have more information - a name, telephone number, email address.

You keep saying 'your parents have done their part'. Are your parents now elderly or in ill health or have they become overwhelmed? Again, people are willing to help, but we have to have some way of reaching the person who will have information and pictures of the cats. /mari
