Sorry I can't help with the cat issue, but I am certainly going to be praying for you and your mom, poor woman! I'm only a few years younger than she is and I can't imagine going through all that-- hope things will improve for your family. Stay positive things will get better.

I too am not in the position to help but will offer up prayers and thoughts for you and your family for the holidays.

I'm so sorry to hear this. Unfortunately I can't help either but I can send some prayers and positive thoughts your way. I sure hope that everything works out.

I am sorry that I can't help with the kitties, but I do have a suggestion for your brother. He should have Medicare coverage (because he is disabled) and if he has Medicaid insurance also, you might be able to hire an assistant to provide care for him if he is staying with you or your brother. Finding a group home is tough, but this might be another avenue for you.

I'm really sorry this happened ... I wish I could help, but the only thing I can do is to send my prayers and lots of (((HUGS))) Hope everything works out well...

I'm so sorry all of this has happened to you & your family.
I would help if I could, but I don't think I'm in the 500 mile radius AND I have dogs, cats, ferrets etc... and not enough room to seperate them.
I wish you the best of luck.

I'd love to help, but I'm a little out of your way. If you could get them down here I am manager of a wonderful pet boarding facility. Our cats aren't kept in little cages, we have "cat condos" with 4 levels, they're actually quite roomy. It's not unusual for us to have cats stay with us for an extended period of time. We currently have a pair of cats who have been with us for 4 months. We let the cats out to walk around because they are with us for so long. Our cats have plenty of entertainment too, they have several birds to watch and we are in and out of there all day too. I know it's quite a distance, but I'd be to help.

There is a similar facility closer to you. One of my bosses good friends has a kennel with similar cat condos (actually I think they're the same, I've not seen them though). That kennel is just outside of Charlotte, N.C. I feel confident recommending this kennel to you, as I "know" the owner. I know it's not ideal as the kitties would have quite the trip across the country, but if no one can help you I do recommend one of these kennels. I know the care is exceptional.

You may be able to find a kennel in California, just be careful as there are more bad kennels out there than there are good ones. Most kennels have 3x3 steal cages where the cat has to sleep and eat next to their litter box. Kennels like that would not be able to keep the cats together either, and it'd be horrible for a cat to stay in that kind of a facility for a long time.

Good luck. You, your family, and the kitties are all in my prayers.
