Oh Megan my heart goes out to you, i know how much you adore both kitties, and because i know you as a person i know when reading your post exactly what you mean't, I am crying with you sweetie, i know how much they mean to you, and i know how much you have been through over the years, again i hold your mother responsible, she should not have got the cats if she knew she could not afford them or that she was not supposed to have them, but saying that is not going to help your situation i realise, but to let you love them so much and then have them taken away just breaks my heart thinking about it.

Do consider one PTer's kind offer if your friends are unable to take them, at least if your friends take them you will beable to see them still and that will be a little comfort to you.

keep us posted Megan and big HUGS to you and i hope for the best outcome possible, thinking of you and sending positive vibes your way for a happy ending.
