I am at your mercy and I need help

I was thinking taht too, if you could place them at a Vets until your house is sold, and then take them to your new place.
I wish I was closer as I would board them for you, n charge.
I hope you dont have to give them away.

Do the two girls get along well?

[Samantha Puppy]

They get along extremely well. They're sisters and have never been apart.

I'm so sorry to hear this. I hope that you'll be able to find a good loving forever home that will hopefully take both of your girls. I understand totally and have also had to rehome a cat before. Good luck and please continue to keep us updated.

I can feel your pain in your post.
I am sorry it has come to this.
Prayers on the way for you.

My memory fails me...........didn't the girls COME from a rescue group? Is there a contract that says they will take them back?

I think boarding the girls somewhere would definately be the best bet. That way you know that they're safe, and you can come back for them when you've moved house. You can also visit with them in a boarding kennel.
I would think that would be best for them and you, less stressful for you selling the house and you don't lose them when you don't really want to.

Yikes! if "no cat poop" had been a deal breaker - we never would have purchased the house we live in (they had cats but weren't diligent about cleaning out the litter boxes - we ended up tearing out all of the carpet. ).

If the real issue is just selling the house, then I agree that a temporary boarding or fostering could be the best solution.

I wish you the best

No, Sushi and Kirin (the boys) came from a rescue. Maya and Kimi came from PetSmart.

I'm afraid boarding them isn't an option. We simply cannot afford it. A week, maybe. But the housing market isn't such that your house is sold within a day or two like a couple years ago. Our house could be up for sale until November. It could not sell at all. With Aidan starting a new daycare in two weeks that costs more than double what we currently pay for it, there is just no way we can afford to board the two girls for God only knows how long. And I'm sorry, but it just feels to me like that would only be putting a bandaid on a huge wound. Maya's issue isn't with the house, it isn't with Josh, it isn't with Aidan, it is with me. I'm going to the new house so the problems would follow us there. Not to mention that Kirin would still be tormenting the hell out of poor Kimi.

I am so sorry that you have to do this.

Where are you located?

Do the girls need to go to a home together?

[jenluckenbach]

No, Sushi and Kirin (the boys) came from a rescue. Maya and Kimi came from PetSmart.

OK, but WHO puts the cats at your Petsmart adoption center? I know Petsmart doesn't SELL them, so someone (some group) had to put them there for adoption?

I am sorry to say, but rehoming cats is never fast. You will simply have to try to get the word out through as many places as possible.
