This is great news! I can't imagine being mad at you... you were doing everything in heart for the cats - who can fault that?

I know its breaking your heart to see them go, but hard times call for this. Whenever you get back on your feet and are in a great place with a great job and security, you can have as many cats as you want, but for now, love your lot of 4 and thank God you have that many blessings.
