Need to rehome two, I'm afraid..

DJ Fyrewolf could get them to Seattle.

She is also willing to be a rest stop for anyone who might be transporting them.

Pat - maybe PM Slick and double check on her taking them.

I don't have much money right now - a few PTrs could chip in, GoFundMe is possible.

But let's wait and see if Slick wants the babies.

I just sent Slick a PM.

Pat- I think you are panicking without cause right now. *If* nothing has yet been said about the number of pets you have, and *if* there IS no limit, I wouldn't do a thing until required to do so. I represent landlords. They want "good", paying tenants. Frankly, a place mixed with young college kids AND mature, responsible tenants isn't any landlords dream mix.

You sound very panicked (not judging you, just relaying how it sounds), and are very reactionary right now. To think of re-homing pets without being told to seems drastic.

Agree, agree, agree!

Thank you, Cataholic and Elyse. Yes, I do know I'm panicked here, and I do know I have that tendency.

But yes there IS a limit, two pets at most, and I am facing major surgery which will have me out of commission for quite a while, with this going on.

Yes, I've been a good, paying, dependable, non-pesky tenant for the 12 years I've been there. And they are marketing heavily to students right now, especially grad students and foreigners. I think they're looking at the fast-buck aspect, not the long haul.

Today I took Poppy and Elmer to the Happy Hearts Feline Rescue out in Grass Lake, MI. They can stay there for whatever time they and I need, until I either find a place I can have all four or else decide they should be adopted out. My sister and I have given them quite substantial donations.

And Bob and Sparkler will probably keep boarding at Karnik until I'm home and able to care for them again myself. My sister told me today she doesn't think she can handle caring for them, what with her job and all her other responsibilities.

The surgeon's assistant told me today that if I don't want to do Sept. 15, the soonest they could reschedule me is Oct. 29. That would make a lot of my rehab in the winter, which is out as far as I'm concerned. So I either go in next Monday (and come back when?), or else put it off until next March or so.

Thanks, folks, for your thoughts.

You will be in our prayers.

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Don't you just hate it when your life gets turned all upside down?
Prayers still on the way from me too!!!

[DJFyrewolf36]

Sending you good thoughts and prayers! I know what it's like to deal with landlords who have no intention of being nice...*sigh*

If there is ANYTHING I can do to help out on this adventure, please let me know.
