Carole,

I know how difficult it is. Especially since you have taken such great care of them. How about asking her if she would consider allowing them to stay with you. I know you say that you can't afford 2 more kitties. I ALWAYS say that!!! But I'm flat broke too and I ALWAYS make sure my cats eat first. I'll eat toast for 6 months in order for my cats to have what they need,

I commend you for everything you've done for those precious kitties. At least if they're with you, you won't be up sleepless at night wondering how they're doing.

Just a thought.
