I really need some help.

I know this is a long shot but here goes. I have six wonderful cats that I truly love. I need to find homes for them or at least some of them. Or even a foster situation if anyone can help. They are all spayed or neutered and up to date on all their shots. They have been HIV/fe-luk tested and are all negative. There is a pair of 1 year olds a boy his name is Bunny (I call him that because he is a funny bunny) (black and white spotted like a cow) and a girl Pia (tuxedo). Then there is Jamie a 3 year old long haired female (all black) she is a real beauty. Next a pair of 4 year olds Jack and Jill (black) and last but not least Joey, he is a six year old prince (gray and white tuxedo and a little chubby ). Believe me this is no joke as I am writing this the tears are blurring my vision. I have a situation if you want to email me at mary293077@aol can explain but a bulliten board is not the place for this. I live on LI Nassau county.. Thanks for listening..MaryAnn

This must be breaking your heart. Unfortunately I can't help you because I have 5 cats of my own but I will send you some prayers and positive thoughts your way. I sure hope that they'll all be able to find wonderful loving homes. Have you contacted any no kill shelters or rescue groups yet? Maybe some one can foster them until their new homes are found. Good luck.

Maryann,
I am thinking LI means Long Island? Where are you located? More importantly, DO explain your situation here. Maybe things aren't as dire as you seem to think, and we together can come up with something that could work. Don't give up hope.

I really need to find homes for 2 or three of my babies.. I have six.. My husband is screaming all the time about the number of cats. He is making life unbearable for me..

Mary, this is really a tough time for you and your cats. Is your husband yelling only about the cats?? Have you considered contacting the North Shore Animal League on Long Island?? They were featured on Animal Planet last evening. I was impressed with all the work they do to insure that the cat/dog gets the right home. Knowing that, would be less stressful for you. Please keep in touch with the group here, they are extremely supportive and have lots of good ideas and all together problems get solved!!

Mary, who is it that is making YOUR life unbearable - your cats or the guy?
Think about it. Who is giving you unconditional love?

TopCat, I agree to some extent. Might be time for human counselling, or some such.

I know this lady loves her cats as much as anyone. But none of us are under that roof...if the litter boxes are clean and the cats healthy, that is great, and I am sure that is the case.

Maybe hubby could help call around too, IF he is determined they should have a good home.

But yes, I wonder if he would just find something else to scream about.

Hard to say what the real problem is here. Did they both agree on two cats to begin with, and that promise got badly bent?

Good luck, Mary. I can't take another kitty right now - but you might want to call the Humane Society where you are for advice, or an animal rights group. And/or a counselling hotline.

Sorry to be a bit OT
