The update is at the end of her first post.

"I spoke to the director of the school I work for, and although it is against policy to make a contract before Sept. (most schools do contracts in spring so waiting would put me in jepardy of not being able to find a job if the contract didn't come up to enough) he promised me enough that I might be able to work out a way to keep the animals and me in our home."

Barncat, this would be the best news if this could happen for you. Finger, toes and paws crossed here and big time Prayers also, that everything will work out for you in the end.

How sweet of you to take on this precious kitty, even though you are going through your own problems. You have a heart of gold.
Oh gosh, when I was reading how matted Miss Mae is, it just broke my heart.
Poor sweet girl. She sounds like a treasure and she will be so very grateful to you when those nasty mats are gone. Once they are, be sure to give her body a gentle massage.

Please continue to let us know how things are going.

Bless you.
