With recent life changes, my husband and I are having to make some painful decisions.
ONe of these decisions is that we must find new homes for our two outside girls. Neither are getting the vet care they need, and Minette is becoming awfully thin. We're going to be moving to an area I don't feel comfortable having outside cats at all (too many wild animals) and we just plain can't afford to keep feeding five cats and a dog.
I've contacted a local rescue organization, but there's not much they can do if the cats can't be guaranteed to stay inside. (Neither cat likes being inside much anymore, because of the three boys in there.)
I can get them current on their shots, and both girls were spayed as kittens. Wobbles is about 3, Minette closer to 5. I'll attach pictures of both.
Minette is a tuxedo kitty, and as sweet as she can be. She's a talker, and loves to be loved. She's not crazy about being picked up, though, and likes to squirm if you do.
Wobbles is my problem child. She's a grey calico, and has the classic calico temperament. She's just plain not friendly. Ideally, she'd go to a place where she can be guaranteed food, but not be expected to be a particularly friendly cat. She's just not. I don't want to euthanize her, but if we can't find a home, there's no other option for her. She's half feral, and has gotten steadily wilder over the years. She IS a proven mouser, to an extreme. She hasn't been kind to the local rodent and bird population this year.
Can anyone help, or offer advice? I'm at wit's end, and it breaks my heart to think I may have to euthanize these girls. I just can't care for them anymore.
