We've gotta get rid of our cats!

[Barb04]

I hope you'll be able to find a rescue to help Julie. If I didn't have so many pets, they'd be here right now.

I hope something works out for my babies. We are on a waiting list for the TLC in Illinois so hopefully soon they'll take them. The Independant Cat Society by us has like over 300 cats the woman said and can't take any more in for quite some time.

Goodluck with taht Julie, Im sitting here with Panda on my lap (i have a mild allergy) my eyes are running and my nose, cant imagine what it must be like foryou.

Goodluck on finding them a new home, i know noone better would look after them.

when I am near them (Milo especially) my nose gets plugged up and it sounds like I have a cold, my eyes will get itchy and red, and also (cuz he likes to give kisses) my chin will get scratchy and bumpy from where he was licking me. My chin will stay itchy for like two days and my eyes and nose as well.

where do you live juliefurry ? If you live near GA than I might be able to find them a good home? What kind of cats are they ?

 

[juliefurry]

I live in Indiana. Their pictures are posted in this thread. They are just ordinary housecats, one long hair and one short hair. The female is 2, she's spayed and declawed on all four paws, and the male is 1 and is neutered and declawed on all four paws.

 

[mrose_s]

did u declaw them or a previous owner

 

[juliefurry]

my husband made me get them declawed on all four claw. We only had Gina done on the front two and then when we had our daughter he insisted the back ones get done. Then we got Milo after we had our daughter so he had all four done. I don't see the need for all four but my husband was being a big butt about it.

 

[mrose_s]

ohk, ohhh, sorry but i think i have a grudge against your husband. are they exclusivley indoors cats?

 

[juliefurry]

yeah they stay indoors all the time. They don't like being outside. He had a bad thing happen with his old cat and it used to scratch him and everybody else with the back claws so he made me get them all taken off. I do have so good news though the TLC shelter is willing to take them and we're going to drop them off tomorrow (I'm sort of sad about it though). I know it's best for them because they are starting to get wierd being down in the basement all the time but I'm just worried about them. The other shelter wouldn't take them because they freaked out when we got there and they said they weren't adoptable.

 

[Barb04]

Glad to hear you were able to wait for the shelter to take them. I truly hope they find good, loving homes soon.

I just hope we don't have a repeat performance of what happened with them last time they were brought to a shelter. If we do then my husband says we have no choice but to put them to sleep . If I can atleast get them into the quiet room that they have at the shelter (for bonding with the shelter animals) than I think I can get them out of their carrier. I'm so worried about tomorrow, I fear the worst for them .

 

[Barb04]

That might be a good idea, Julie. Do they have a favorite treat or food that you can take along with you while you sit in the quiet room with them. Even bring their favorite toy. Please let us know what happens.

 

[juliefurry]

Yeah I'll bring their treats (they aren't really much for toys). I'm so worried about them. I'll let you guys know how things go tomorrow.

 

[luvmydogs]

did u take them yet???(1000 posts!!! yeay) how did everything go?

 

[juliefurry]

Well we got there and we got them out of their carrier. They were hissing but didn't bite the lady. They peed in their crate so they STUNK so bad. They are there and I explained what happened at the last shelter and the lady was like "ofcourse their gonna hiss and stuff their scared to death lots of cats do when they are dropped off." So I'm pretty sure they are safe. I'm gonna keep calling and checking the website (it's updated weekly) to see if the are adopted. I'm so worried for them. They have so many little kittens at the shelter you know people are going to pass up the older cats and go for the kittens first.

 

[Barb04]

Julie, I know people like kittens, but many people like cats that are a little older too. I just know things will go well for them. Keep us updated. Glad to hear the lady at the shelter was so understanding.

 

[juliefurry]

I know people like older cats too, I hope they are able to find a good home. I've never had to personally take an animal to a shelter before so it was very upsetting to me and then to see everybody pass up their cage to look at the little kittens next to them was really heartbreaking for me.

 

[2pups622]

dont worry your kittys will find a home me and my mother were talking about in the future we wanna always have cats in the house but deff dont want kittens we want older adults i know there are more people that want the same kittens are a handful not everyone wants a cat climbing up there certains lol dont worry if i didnt have 3 right now i would have taken one of them

 

[juliefurry]

thanks, I know people do want older cats as well but like I said it's just frustrating when you see someone just snub their nose at your little babies and head straight for the kittens in the next cage.
