Broken hearted for Mystyc and MyRage.

I can't have Mystyc or MyRage, and my bro and his fiance broke up, she got a place that doesn't allow pets. I don't want to take them to the pound and my heart is completely broken into teeny little pieces that don't want to beat anymore

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear this. Can your brother take them? How about a friend? Maybe you should post this is S.O.S. They give really good advice there. Sending you vibes that it'll work out for you.

He doesn't know where he will be going yet. Her family helped pay for her to get a place, and we (his family) can't really afford that right now with hospital bills coming in and more medical tests on my horizon. I feel so guilty. I was forced to take my Myth to the shelter June of 08 because I moved to Louisiana and could only take one cat with me. I took Shade because she was the one who cuddled every night, and seemed more attatched to us then Mystyc or MyRage. Styk and Rage both went with my bro, until recently. I have to do something before the end of this week, and I would rather step in front of a fast moving coal train then drop them off at the pound, or even let them leave the family.

Why can't you get them? It wouldn't be cheap but if they're several states away there is the option of having them flown. Members here have adopted cats from members several states away.

I assume since you're doing such extreme remodeling on your home that you are not renting since any landlord would flip from those sort of changes. So you're under no one cat rule. Maybe put off redoing the bathroom and other rooms for a while.

they live a few blocks away from me. We can only have one cat, the place really is too small for more then one. Landlord was nice enough to allow us the one. The remodeling we are doing is all on the surface. Using materials I already had from when we had money before we moved to louisiana and back, and stuff from the dollar stores. (Lots of thumb tacks and double sided tape) We are only renting, and all of the work I have done on the house can be taken down in a matter of minutes with no damage to the paint, minus some holes from thumb tacks. All together in decorating I bet we've spent about $50 since we've been here. The stone walls in the basement were left over from when I decorated for a huge haloween party I threw in '04 for a bunch of my friends' kids. I didn't use all the materials I had, and what I did use, I kept, and reused.

DH Put his foot down, and said I cannot have them here. He's not a bad person, he just doesn't want to anger the land lord when the place was NO PETS to begin with. Since we can't have kids (my health won't allow, I would die) we have NyghtShade, and both my brother and his brother talked with the land lord before we moved in, and told him what a great cat shade was, and why she should be allowed.

I so wish things were different

Start bugging friends than? If you can, tell them you'll have both cats vet checked before they go to their new homes? That might help convince some people.

Oh sweetie I am so sorry. I would take them in a heartbeat and that's a promise but I live too far away, I couldn't imagine what you are going through. My house is a 2 pet only house but I have 5 cats,rabbits and birds, DH wasn't keen but I put my foot down with him and he knows how much my cats mean to me. My cats don't cause a nuisance and only my close friends know I have 5. Couldn't you plead with DH? I am sure if they are indoor cats and well behaved you can work round it, just don't tell anyone and if the landlord does a check they have to give you notice so you have time to make arrangements to move the cats. I am really feeling for you at the minute and you can sort it. xx

Or at least have it temporary while looking for homes.

I have always believed "where there is a will there is a way", I'm sure you'll find it. Praying that you do. This is a terrible thing to have happened to you and your kits.

The power of tears. I went into the basement to lay down becuase my head hurt and I didn't want to just bawl infront of DH. He's worried about my health and doesn't want me stressing. He came downstairs and said everything would be okay, I would see. I said 'but not for them' wich trailed off into a horrible cry at the end. He asked who, I said 'my cats'.

Then he melted. He said he would pick them up and bring them here tonight. I told him I was hopeful someone out there throught TCS could or would be interested in addopting them, and he thought I must have made him look like a villain. I told him no. It's not his fault. When I got Mystyc he and I weren't together, and when I got MyRage, we were living on land my dad owned. He has since given up that land, and I'm not in line to own it now So it wasn't like I ran out and just got cats without thinking of the future.

So now they will be staying here (he says I can keep them ) but I will still be looking to rehome them. I don't want to, I really don't want to, but in the long run it would probably be best for them anyway.

I feel even more guilty now because he's going to let them come here because I was crying. I was crying because I am hurt, not by him, by the situation. By the thought of them being thrown aside like dirty rags. they aren't they are my girls and I love them with every little cell in my body. they were with my brother because I couldn't privide for them. Now we will do the best we can.

Shade will be reunited with her mama (MyRage), and I will be reunited with my first kitten ever in my life (Mystyc). I feel horrible. I'm happy,, but cautiously. I'm relieved, but I feel guilty. I didn't know tears would melt him like that. His excuse was that he didn't want me being stressed because of my health issues... Speaking of, no results on the ultrasound they did on my abdomin yesterday morning. She said I looked Jaundice and when she pushed on my liver, it hurt. (I dont care about that right now though.) I just care about my two girls who were almost dirty rags.

I thank the creator for his understanding, but I wish things were different. I don't want to get kicked out. I will be looking to rehome them though, as much as that hurts.

I'm glad he relented. Maybe when you're calmer sit down and chat with him? Let him know you'll still try to rehome them if possible because you understand that no one wants to make the landlord angry.

Maybe make it up to him on Valentine's Day?

I hope reintroductions go well.

I am so sorry you have to go through such a tought situation!
Your DH sounds wonderful, I agree with strange wings, you could have a conversation with him about rehoming them as soon as you find good homes for them. I am sure once you tell the landlord they're only staying until you find homes for them, he will not be as angry.

Oh, thank goodness they can stay there!
You are not going to get kicked out, and your landlord doesn't even need to know.... He/she needs to give you 24 hrs notice to get inside of your apartment/house, in which case you can put them in a carrier and take them to your brother's house, if that ever happens.
IMO, if you can have a cat in there, It would be very hard for him to find out you have three...
In case he does, then you can say it is temporary, or whatever, and explain the situation...
About space, cats do not need a lot of space to live... I live in a tiny 1br apartment, and I have 3 perfectly happy cats...
There are members here who live in a Motor home with 8, I think?

I hope the introduction goes well....
Please do not feel horrible about this - on the contrary, enjoy this joyful moment... you will have your babies back!

you are right. I haven't lived with my other two girls for well over a year. I parted ways with them on June 28th 2008 when I left Sheridan for Louisiana, thinking about that moment hurts. It was the hardest thing in the world for me to leave 2 girls here, take one to the shelter, and only take one with me. Shade got to go because she was the youngest, and I already knew the other three wouldn't do well traveling. Myth wasn't a good candidate to go live with my bro since she was meant to be an only cat.

Shade is a great traveller.

Thank you all for your comforting words. I feel a bit over dramatic atm. Things just keep getting piled onto me right now. My health issues have me frazzled to no end, and my endless stream of positivity seems to have left me as of late. I just want to be back to my normal happy positive self. I don't like feeling this way. Maybe having my girls closer to me will help me to find my ever shiny silver lining I always keep tabs on when I am down. I feel sillly to have been so upset and crying all day. It hurt so bad to think of them being thrown aside. they are little people wearing cat disguises, and their emotions are just as valid and important as mine. It's not fair that human lives can effect them so much. I just want them to feel loved, safe, and secure. I hope they all remember each other fairly fast and fall into a comfortable life style.

I've told DH that I am still looking into rehoming them so their stay will posibly be temporary, he said not to worry about that because they love us and they are our cats. Not sure he realized how much I want them to be safe and happy. I took them into my life for life, not until it's not convienient anymore. As it was, they were doing good where they were, since they can't be there anymore, responsibility falls back to me IMO. I will still look into finding them new homes, just so this doesn't happen again. The longer they are here, the less likely they will move though.

Feeling better, headache and swollen face uncomfortable now. lol
Be safe. Thank you

I agree, I have lived in my house for nearly 2 years and still have all my kitties and I wouldn't give them up without a damn good fight, you enjoy your babies and be happy that you can be with them. I just am careful who I tell that I have 5 cats.xx

We have a say in Brazil: In the end, everything works out... If it doesn't work out, you haven't reached the end yet.
One step at at time, one step at time....

My boyfriend moved in his place with a dog and a cat. The dog had to be put down and we added 2 kittens, so we had 3 cats when it was originally a cat and a dog. Never told the landlord about the changes and he's had his maintenance guy over here and he's seen the 3 cats but it was no problem at all. Now due to Maude being put down we're down to 2 kittens, so we're back to the original number of animals but neither one is one of the priginal animals when he moved in here.

Taryn

I'm so glad to see this update!

This is a nice change of pace for me. My brother has a place to go, and the guy he will be rooming with had lost his kitty to old age a few years ago. he will be happy to have a cat in the house again, so my beautiful Mystyc will be going there with them I am very relieved by that, I will only have to take on MyRage. I would love to have both of them, but I think she will be happier staying with my brother since she has been with him living in the same house for the last 5 years There's some security in her life that warms my heart to no end. *Sigh*

I hate when I over react.

@carolinalima my brother and I like that saying!!! We both repeated it a few times, and it sounded better each time. Once in a while someting comes along that strikes me, and that did. Thank you so much.

Im sad Mystyc won't be coming here now, but I am happier she will be staying with my brother because she's had him in his life continously for the last 5 maybe 6 years... now that I think about it, he's been pretty much in her life since she was a kitten...

I still get MyRage though, and since Rage is Shadey's mama, things should settle right down into a good comfy life for them

Be safe, and thank you all for helping point out the postives.

@ Cindy, thank you so much, you are such a positive ray on my face book *Hugz*
