HELP! 11 cats from house fire need new homes

[phesina]

I was just thinking about these cats - wondering if their owner had finally managed to get home.

What a pr*ck he is How could he take in 12 cats - and now want to get rid of almost all of them? Or is it his new lady love?

I sorry - I can't help. We have 6 now, and that's really too many. We should have stopped at 4 - but those cute faces kept showing up at our back door.

He damn well better keep every last one of them until each has a wonderful, fantastic home.

I'm sorry to hear Rita laid you off. This has turned into one miserable winter for sure

Thanks, Gretchen. The person who took in all the cats was his late wife Kristine, who died a year ago last fall. She was a lifelong rescuer of wounded-birds of all species.

Simon has kept them since she passed away, I think, more in her memory and in respect for her wishes than that he is a big-time cat person himself.

And yes, I think it is the new lady friend who is the main impetus behind this. She is going to move in with him after the house is all fixed up again. She has a cat of her own, the same age as Hero, the one of Kristine's cats they are going to keep (who being young and healthy and friendly would be the easiest to adopt out!).

I am going to be following all of this as closely as I can. I also am going to get the word out to as many people as I can, the kind of people who will also want the best for these dear kitties and will pass the word on to any good contacts they have.. It's going to be hard enough for the kitties at their ages as it is.

And yes, four of us at Mosaic were abruptly let go. This has been quite a winter indeed so far.. (and now for the big storm! At least I don't have to go anywhere or get anything tomorrow.. one good thing about being axed by Mosaic, as Wednesday morning was one of my shifts! )
