Ally & Connor - Bad News :(

[Sevaede]

I am so sorry that this is happening (for the kitties and for you!)!

Who has made the final say in this? Did you look for a place that would allow your kitties? Can you rehome them?

[Logan]

Oh Julie, surely someone would take those beautiful kitties if you have to go without them. Please hold out hope and start the process of investigating that possibility. I hope something will work out.

The issues with rehoming them are:
1) Every cat-lover I know is already at their own personal limits - given that all my friends are expats, and the ultimate aim is to take their cats with them when they leave (which costs a fortune).
2) We only have ONE shelter and it is high-kill - last month alone over 150 cats and dogs were PTS. The majority of placements are people wanting cute little kittens , not:
An adult female cat with aggression issues (Ally)
and an Adult deaf, tailless, balding, overweight cat (Connor) (yep - my two are REALLY the sort that only a mother can love!)
My MIL in SA MAY take Connor - however he would be inside/outside, and being deaf this is NOT really an option.

IF we move it will be to Lagos, Nigeria. A TINY 3-rd floor appartment with only one bathroom and no utility room, so no-where inside for litter boxes. Warren is concerned about having the boxes on the balcony as:
1) the building manager will not allow the balcony to be enclosed (so a 3-floor drop for the cats if they get adventurous)
2) the litter may attract horse-flies etc which may carry disease - Lagos is very humid and disease-ridden, so we have to minimise the risks (we have to consider Cali's health)

(We can't chose different accomodation as it is company-provided)

Oh Julie, I'm really sorry to hear this. I know Ally has some "issues" and will probably be difficult to rehome, but Connor?

I hope you'll find a good solution for all! All the best of luck!

Well - I hope your husband DOESN'T get the job, and you understand why I say that!

If the pay isn't that much more - and the housing so much smaller (for you, let alone your furbabies), is it worth it?

Can you say no without jeopardizing work?

HUGS!

PT Prayers work - and you have them from me!

I also hope he doesn't get the job, for all the same reasons. Will be
praying for other alternatives to show up.

[Felicia's Mom]

I know how you feel- having to rehome both of my cats earlier this year. I did find good homes for them and pray you can do the same.

Thats awful news about Ally and Connor.
We have come to know and love those Cats, and the thought of them being PTS is depressing.
I hope that he doses not get that job either.
Who would ever want to live in Nigeria?
