Just so everyone knows, if you have PMed Tonya and she is not responding, its because she is out of town at a funeral. I know this is very important and critical for her, so she will definately answer everyone once she gets back home. :)
(((HUGS))) to you Tonya.

Hi, everyone. I got homesick and came home a day early. I am to tired and distraught to really respond right now. I am sorry. I am really tempted on just trying harder to contain the cats to my bedroom and adding more hepafilters. I don't think I can do it. Even my husband is crying and he's normally a tough guy. We love them so much. You don't realize how much you love them until you face getting rid of them. :(
Rest, sweetie, sleep well, and know we are all thinking of you and ready to support whatever you decide.
Tonya my heart goes out to you sweetie, I Can only imagine your dilemma and how much your heart is breaking at the thought of parting with your furbabies.
I think you have fought extremely hard to keep your cats, under the circumstances with Jaden's health and one can only commend you for trying so hard, everyone understands how awful this situation is for you,also there could be a small chance your new baby might have similar allergies, sorry not to be down and out about it all, but just facing what could happen.
I am certain there will be someone here on PT who will welcome Ron and Raven with open arms, its looking promising already, but maybe the porch idea is worth a try also.
HUGS to you and hopefully a positive outcome will eventuate and soon.
:( I'm so sorry! I hope you can figure out a way to keep them. I know how much you must love them..
Of worse comes to worse I might be able take them after Birdie and Tucker are off Clavamox and have a sick free cat home.My cats are with me day and night.I don't work,I'm 42 and don't care to travel at all.My whole life is cat sitting.I would never let them out.I don't have much company.We just built a new home in Maine to retire to next year,but the kicker is:Mike might say no.So hopefully you will find a better candidate.We already have 10 cats but after a few months of newnest,everyone is usually happy.My instinct is no more cats,but I understand your situation totally.
I really really think they'd be better in a home with none or 2-4 cats.It would be less stressfull to them
I just noticed they are declawed.It would be better to have them with less cats.I would think anyway.I don't know why I thought you were in Canada.Dummy me.:rolleyes:
Get rest Tonya, and we are still praying that you can place them close to you.
:(
How awful! I hope somone is able to take them, so they can stay in a PT home! I really would consider it but 3 dogs and twokitties is a full house for me right now. I don't think I could afford any more furkids. Gosh, my heart breaks for you though. I hope and pray an answer comes soon.
:(
Thank you, everyone. I am still hoping to find someone that is in California.
Something really cool happened right now. I had sent an email with Ron and Raven's story out to all the cat rescues in the area. Well, a woman emailed me back, she's the president of SASF...anyways, she said that they only take cats from the shelter but she felt inclinded to respond and she wanted to help me. So...I go to call her, and lo and behold, my husband answers the phone....it's his boss! I thought the number I was dialing was awfully familiar. It was his work number. I'm hoping this is a good sign...I just finished sending her pictures right now.
Oh Tonya how freaky lol, but hey it has got to be a good omen for sure, fingers and paws crossed here, keep us updated please, good luck sweetie.;)
I know. The funny thing is my husband has this tough guy front and he's been really upset...especially about Raven. Well, in my email, I'd even put how devastated my husband is. Oh, he'd kill me if he knew his boss found out he is an undercover softy.Quote:

Not sure if you knew, but i had to rehome my former cat, b/c he wasn't very "kid friendly", and i had a young child. An old time pettalker ( Spencer the Lion) heard about my situation and posted about it on Pettalk...i wasnt a member yet, but my mom (pam) was...so anyway, SASVERMONT and I just had this connnection and she ended up taking him for me, with the intentions of adopting him out, but he fit into her home, and became her kitty :) This was Gabe. Unfortunately he passed onto the rainbow bridge, but he had a great end to his life, living with Sallyanne, Miley and Graemer...so anyway, happy endings can come true...
The day I handed Gabe over to SAS, i was strong, but after he drove away, i kinda lost it...but i knew it was for the better...he had the best life he could have had with her...
So anyway, here is hoping this phone call is your happy ending to this very tough situtation...it seems to be a great step in the right direction!!

OMG..what a small world.This would be ideal for your family.Maybe cat visits too.:D
Best of luck with that prospect Tonya.
