A friend of mine who is running from an abusive husband had to give up the two cats I found for her because she has to go underground again. I didn't get any sleep last night because I dreaded picking up the cats.
When I got there you could see that the cats knew there was something going on. Molly, her first cat was VERY subdued and depressed. Cheeto, her orange 14 pound male looked very confused.
If I didn't have Lokie in my back bedroom, I would've gladly taken them until she found a new place. Unfortunately, Lokie comes first. I spent 2 days making phone calls to everyone in animal rescue that I knew. Very bad timing, as it is kitten season and no one had any room for them. I thought of putting Lokie in my room and her two cats in my back bedroom. But my other 6 cats would've been limited to 2 rooms, the living room and kitchen, which wouldn't have been fair to them.
I finally found someone to take them both. She runs an animal shelter (no-kill of course). At least they will be together. We are going to try and place them together as well. I am going to feature them in my "Pet of the Week" column of the newspaper.
I'm feeling guilty that I couldn't have helped more. I can't imagine having to live my life on the run like that, but this abusive bas$#@* said he will kill her if he ever finds her. Nice guy, huh? I don't know alot about it but from what I've been told, he's a very powerful man. I can only pray that she stays safe. I did make the promise to her that I would make sure they're placed together.
If you guys would do me the favor of saying a prayer for her safety and well being, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks for listening.
