Desperate Help Needed - My Three and I need help :(

[catfamily]

I really want to thank Donna so very much for helping Kelly in her dire need.You've been fabulous!!!
Your such a wonderful human being to be so quick and getting this done!!!!
I'm amazed at how fast you handled this and got these cats wonderful homes and also to help Kelly feel at ease so she won't be miserable forever because she couldn't find homes for her babies.
Thanks from Maine.

Oh my gosh! I just finished reading through this entire thread and I'm so glad that Donna was able to hook you up with some foster homes! Crystal and Sandy certainly sound like God Sends! This is definitely the best news I've heard in weeks!
I'm just sorry that I'm such a useless friend and couldn't take any of your babies, and that my rescue group didn't respond to the wonderful flyer you put together. I'm looking into the cost of getting my own place, but I know it's going to be awhile before I'm living in/paying for my own living space. While I'm glad that you can stay with your parents, it's just too bad that they don't see the healing effects your babies have for you. I can't wait until you get back on your feet and can have your fur babies come home! We could definitely make a few trips down to San Diego to visit your babies in the meantime though!

**hugs**

I am not a hero or a saint, I'm just someone who WAS in the same boat Kelly is in now.

I know exactly how Kelly is feeling. The feeling of fear and desperation of losing your cats and having nowhere to go is frightening.

When I moved back to CT from MI, I tried everyone I knew to see if I could stay with them till I found a job and a place to live. I asked some of my friends in rescue if they could foster my cats till I got back on my feet. No one wanted to help me. I'm talking about friends I've known for years, even family. I didn't know what I was going to do, where I was gonna live or what would become of my furbabies. Fortunately, Mark came to my rescue. If it hadn't been for him, I'd have been living in my car.

I'm just a friend who wants to help another friend get through a very difficult time.

Love you Kel!!

Wolflady,

You are NOT a useless friend.

You know what? THIS is why I love Pet Talk!!! Despite the icky things that have been going on here lately......this is what it's all about!!!
I kept seeing other people helping their fellow PTers and I was so excited to possibly get the chance to help myself......but it didn't work out.
And I am sooo grateful that Donna was able to hook Kelly up with Sandy and Crystal. I get tears in my eyes just thinking about it. It's soo awesome!!!
Way to go Donna.......AND Pet Talk in general!!!

Donna you are an angel and don't you say otherwise! *HUGS*

I'm so happy that they were able to help you Kelly.

Kelly, I'm so glad to hear that all 3 of your cats will be able to be placed in foster homes until you can be reunited with them. Donna sure did a wonderful job helping you get the contacts that you needed and Sandy and Crystal sound wonderful too. I hope that you'll be able to get back on your feet soon. Take care.(((HUGS)))

Donna,
You ARE an angel, but you're also a FABULOUS friend as well. You've been in the same situation and I think this is why we get along so well...I'll never be able to thank you enough for what you've done - but know that I'm always here to help you or your furballs in any way I possibly can.

Catfamily,
I agree...I really, truly wish my parents could see WHAT my cats are to me. Not just that they're my children, but that they provide A TON of stress relief and unconditional love to me. The whole prospect that I'm failing them broke my heart - and again, if I vocalize any of this to them, I get ridiculed and yelled at - they're "just" animals! Even my brother, when I went to him for help told me that I needed to worry about myself before my pets. These people just think and live differently and I'm so glad I'm different from them. But, I also can't let this fester and ADD additional stress in my life. The smallest bit of stress I let into my mind to stew can reek havoc on my body and kick my out of remission very quickly and these people aren't worth it in the least. This is why you wont often find me complain about the situation I'm powerless to change. Does that make sense??

Wolflady,
You are NOT in any way, shape or form a USELESS friend. You, my love, are dealing with some horrendous things right now and I'd be the USELESS, MEAN, INCONSIDERATE friend if I were to dump this stuff on YOU! You are always there for me, even while your life is changing and being utterly stressful and emotional. You are not, nor will you ever be a useless friend, or person....to me, or to anyone that truly matters.
I love you, sweetie. We'll talk soon. Actually, call me when you can...ok?

Staci, Cindy & Jennie,
While Donna was the one that found the placement, you three took my problem as your OWN and did whatever possible you could do to help. Offering your homes, searching online, posting requests all over the internet...those are things I didn't think to do and I know would have proved successful if Donna's group wasn't. THANK YOU so much!!

David can keep Noah another month, so at least I can visit and get some more time in. I'm going to see if David is up for trying to get Noah to stop his fear biting thing. Crystal agreed that someone did something to him to make him do this stuff - most likely the repairmen that would come into the apartment while we were at work. Poor Noah, he just went up to the repair person to greet him and then probably "helped" the evil jerk fix whatever was broken and something mean and hurtful happened to my little boy - I may call and complain, its been 3 years though, I wonder if it would even matter?

Anyway...thanks again to you all...for your prayers and good thoughts and for all your hard work in helping me get my 3 fostered. Oh, I'm not sure if I mentioned this, but Micah and Jonah are going to be staying with CiCi and Phil. Actually, Jonah has been there since October and he's become their cat. He ADORES Phil and is his shadow at all times. He's happy, healthy and thriving there, thankfully. Jonah originally was going to live with them, but he wouldn't eat if I wasn't there...but over time, he's gotten a lot better and accepted CiCi and Phil and now he's officially their kitty. I miss him, of course, but you always need to do whats BEST for the cat.

Micah is currently staying with Noah at David's house (my soon-to-be ex-husband) with Noel, Hermione and Samson. Micah is going to go to CiCi and Phil's house and stay until I get back on my feet. I'll get to visit and love him whenever I want, thankfully. I miss him so greatly...as I do all my furballs, but Micah with his IBD is not as stable physically as the other cats. He still gets his raw diet every few months and we have to watch him very closely. I think he'll feel very comfortable with CiCi and Phil, because he lived there with me for almost a year.

OK, better get going. I'm looking for a new job - I'm almost done with my Certified Medical Assistant courses and will be able to get pain more $$ and work in a better envirnment then I was previously.

Again, thank you all! I'll continue to keep everyone updated.

Hugs, Kelly & Furkids
