The people have decided to keep the cats. I talked with them this morning and they told me that they ARE NOT declawed...which was my main concern. They have an igloo doghouse for shelter in the winter and the people are feeding and watering them. He said that as of now, they are doing just fine and thank you to anyone who was searching for a home for them. I don't like the thought of 2 cats being put outside for the first time in 11 years, but there is not much anyone can do at this point. Hopefully they will find some nice sunny spots in the summer and adjust ok.
