My mother lives in Palmdale, CA which is about an hour and a half outside of Los Angeles.

I have to be honest and say that the Siamese is only really nice to my mother and the mix kitty has issues with pooping outside the litter box. BUT my mom only cleans the litter box about once a week so when I house sat for her two Christmases ago I never saw a poop outside the box.

This has just turned into a horrible Christmas. I would love to take the cats and I feel horrible for not being able to but I just can't with the pee issues Shadow has. She has been doing so well and I'm terrified to stress her out again.

Please pray that everything works out. We have to find a home willing to care for my handicapped brother as well. I would take him in a heartbeat but Jason is going to be gone for two months and I work 10-12 hours a day almost six days a week. When I'm home, I'm studying and just do not have the time to take care of him right now.

I don't know why this had to happened. My mom has not been doing well for the past year and a half. She had a mini-stroke June 2004 and was not found for four days. May 2005 she was in a car accident and broke her ankle. NOW in the same leg, she has completely destroyed the bones in her knee and will never be the same. The doctor said she will always have pain in her leg and may not be "normal" again. She's only 55!
