So sad... but need a hand.

Hey girls, I haven't posted here much, but I though maybe someone might be able to help me.  DH and I have been having major blowouts about this lately, and long story short, I have agreed to find new homes for our 3 furbabies (pics in my bio). 

 

If anyone is looking to adopt a kitty or a couple of kitties, I'd appreciate a shout.  I really want to avoid taking them to the Humane League (I don't trust them even though I've adopted from them) or any other shelter for that matter.  They're all fixed, declawed and healthy.  I have tons of stuff I'll need to get rid of as well (litter boxes, a kitty condo, etc) if anyone might be interested.  You can email me at imklroy at ptd dot net. 

 

Thanks. 

Re: So sad... but need a hand.

  • Can I ask what issues your cats have been causing between you and your DH?  Since it sounds like you don't want to get rid of them and he does, maybe if we know what the problem is, we could come up with something that would make you, your DH, and your kitties happy. 

    I'm sure I don't have to tell you that their chances at a shelter are slim.  With all the adorable kittens in shelters that people can choose, more adult cats are put down than adopted out.  And, no offense, but I doubt you'll find many people who want to adopt cats from a stranger on a message board especially when the cats have been causing marital problems.  If you let us know what the problem is, maybe we can come up with a solution other than rehoming them. 

  • I am sorry that you are going through this,,, best wishes to you and your kitties!
  • Ditto Pookielove
  • I agree with Pookielove. Just a heads up, people really get flamed for trying to find homes for their kitties on message boards. It sounds like you're already having trouble, and I'd hate for it to get uglier. You might want to DD. Sorry you're in this position!
  • I agree with the pp's. I hope you can work this out! It makes me sad to see people giving up their pets. I could never imagine giving up mine. I already feel guilty going on vacation for a week and what they might think when we aren't there every day for 7 days! I'm sorry you are in this position! I hope that you can work it out so that you can keep them or that you can find a great home for them. Please don't list them on Criag's list or give them to a shelter.

  • If you aren't able to resolve the problem, please do not list on Craigs list or give them to humane league. A rescue is your best bet other than finding friends that are willing to take them in. I will tell you that it is already kitten season so all resources are going to be difficult to find who are willing to take in the furbabies.

    As pp said, maybe we can find a way to resolve the issues your Dh has with the kitties. Many of us have kitties and have various issues over their lifespan. Perhaps can can figure out something together.

  • Unfortunetely I am going to second deleting this post. ?I posted to find a home for my cat and got ripped a new one. ?Good luck finding homes. ?I am posting for my cat up at our church and at our vets office. ?It is so hard to part with your furbabies.
  • Really? I've never really seen anyone getting flamed on this board
  • With animals, many of us get a bit upset if we feel that the pets are being given away for the wrong reasons without trying to work out alternatives. The pet board will most definitely flame you and since many on here work with rescues it is often thought as irresponsible to get rid of pets. There are exceptions, but it is a very sore subject for many of us.
