I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?"
Death thought about it.
CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.

Laura, any word on what happened to these two older felines?? I hope they tried Purrever Ranch.
This advice may come a little late, but I would love to see if one of the family members wouldn't consider giving up ONE ROOM in their home for the 2 cats to stay together. With all the changes that are in store for them, having a small space would actually be MORE comforting than a whole new home, new peop,e, new "pet siblings". The 2 kitties could stay together, safe from the dogs (that may or may not stress them), and all older kitties want is a safe place to snooze, food and a minimal amount of attention.
If no one is willing to do this for their beloved late mom, then I would say go with the seperate housing. At least give them the opportunity to adjust.
As the pet talkers here know, I recently took in a 17 year old Persian, one who never lived with other cats, was matted and skinny to the point of neglect, and yet she is flourishing. don't count those cats out yet, many are instinctively survivors.
Best of luck.
