I'm sorry to say this Kayla, but, it sounds like you need to take a serious look at whether you should have ANY pet at this point. Owning a pet is a HUGE responsibility and it doesn't sound like your mother is willing to take that on and you need to accept that. What you need to do is talk with your mother and get these guys to no kill shelters or rescue groups and not have any pets in your house for awhile until the entire family is ready and willing to take on the responsiblity.
