I must give up my cats.

**Felicia's Mom** · 06-10-2006, 08:35 PM

An update on my problem; I am still waiting to move. The apartment I was going to move into rented out 7-8 apartments after I told them I would take one of them.

Actually, I am not as depressed as when I first started this thread. Back then, I didn't think I had a choice. Now I am thinking that maybe the cats and I can find a place together. Examples: a one room or a basement apt.

However, I am no longer working and earning money. I am not getting my pension or social security yet and can't get on some other programs until I am 65.

If you didn't sign a lease, then you are free to look for something else.

I know you aren't well...but could you exchange anything for a low rent? Housesitting, VERY light housecleaning, that sort of thing? (Get it on paper, so you aren't taken advantage of!)

If you have a friend who is a real estate agent, they might have some ideas.

Or - perhaps there is someone else in your situation....does the roommate idea appeal? You could help each other out.

Just some thoughts

Glad you aren't feeling so down...hugs!

This sounds like good news. Keep looking! There might be better alternatives. You will continue to be in my prayers.

Well..I know I'm responding kind of late but I hope that your health and money situation improve. I'm glad there may be another option for you and you can keep your babies!! My cats are my life and I'm sure you feel the same, especially having Felicia so long. I know it will work out for you, you are in my thoughts!!

I'll still be praying for all of you and that you can all stay together somehow. It's gotta happen!

I just saw this thread...I don't know exactly where you are in Iowa, but I'm in Iowa City. Is there anything I can do to help?

I am in Cedar Rapids. Thanks, but there is nothing you can do to help. I need to be able to go back to work or get money like Social Security. Because all the money I had saved is just about gone.
