Oh my Gina, I am just seeing this thread... and I am sorry that you are having to make this decision. I know that you are hurting. But you are a strong and intelligent woman, and I know that the right decsion will come to you. I agree with Karen, think of it as giving them a new wonderful home. I know it will be hard, but you will always know that whoever gets a new furrever family will be loved! We all know that you would be very scrutinizing (is that a word??!! :rolleyes: ) about who you choose next to love your babies.
Hang in there.

I didnt mean to make you feel badly Gina.
I know how tough it would be to rehome a Found Cat.
I know that you will do the best that you can for them.
And God knows whats in Your Heart and He Loves You.
As Does The Pet Angel Army.
And I the Found Cat Feeder.

Oh Gina, what a hard decision this has to be for you. Just reading your posts I can clearly tell this is tearing you apart as it would any of us if we had to make such a decision. But it sounds like you picked a very loving family to take which ever cats you decide will handle this the best.
I would love to have more cats, but I know financially, I am only able to handle the 6 I have already and even that is a bit of a strain.
My heart goes out to you my dear. ((((((HUGS))))))

Gina - tell us some more about the family that will have them. I am thinking that as you talk about the family and how wonderful they are...maybe, just maybe, you will feel a bit better about this.
As Karen said before - you are spreading love, not giving anything up.
I KNOW it hurts, honey, I am not ignoring that.
Just trying to help a bit...
Could we see pics and stories of Gus and Chance?
HUGS HUGS HUGS

thanks catty, doesn't matter now.
new for you (old for me) updatty I thought I'd share in case some of you're wondering: about almost two ..wow - two months ago when started this misery, I emailed her again and were telling her about and if she'd still like having gus and chance. a little background back then, they were hoping to get two of mine when I was thinking uncomfortably to have this number of cats before moving to east (here) and to focus, continue my education, and never ended up giving out two because I couldn't! two weeks later, I got this email back from her -
Wow!! Long time no hear from! I hope you're doing well and enjoying life on the other side of the country!!
I would have loved to have taken Gus and Chance before you moved but understand that you did not want me to take a sick kitty. Unforunately, we have adopted a dog AND a cat since you left. Both needed serious rescuing and are doing fine and getting along great in their new family. It was really hard to get George to agree to adopting them but I think he's glad we did. We love them both a lot. The dog is a German Shepard named Maya and the cat is a black and white long hair named Romeo.
(sick kitty = chance & george = her hubby). last august, chance was very sick with inflammatory bowel disease, (see here - I & II if you wish). I never wanted to 'spread his love' to somebody else before I could take care of him and be sure he'll be okay. now, victory they saved two other lives too! :) actually four, two spaces in a shelter.
now that I lost two of my preciouskids (avalanche & miles) after thinking more on this .. looks like this doesn't matter anymore! they're all mine for good.. I don't think 11 would hurt for 1 meowmie?
deep happy sigh, no more misery? thanks everyone.
