Well, to make a long story short. My mom is loosing her house to bankruptcy. And has to move to KY with my Grandma. My grandma is Not a animal person. And Me, Being I have 6 dogs and 3 cats, I can't help. But, my mom has 2 senior cats. One 13 and one 15. She needs a place for them.
She doesn't want to put them to sleep. But will have to if no other options come up. *Sigh* I am not sure if anyone here knows of Options. Or W/e. We don't want them sitting in a Cage at a shelter for the rest of there lives. Because of there age.. They will be looked over.

Someone told me about this Cat "Ranch"
http://www.caboodleranch.org/Index.html

And I been looking it over. But I am not sure what to look for, as I have never had to look em up.

What are your opinions?!

You need to contact Craig and find out if he has room for anymore cats. There are several good feral cat ranches in your area, but they fill up pretty darn quick. That would be the first step. There is also an organization called It's Meow or Never that might also help. Another option is to place a Craigslist ad WITH a rehoming fee and if you need an application for adoption- give me a holler and I will send you what I use. It is very effective in finding the right homes for cats who are homeless.

It really depends on the actual sanctuary or rescue, the shelter here has a lot of luck rehoming older cats, its the 2-4 years olds we have a problem with.

Whatever you are doing with them, you need to move quickly, everyone gets completely overrun with kitten season soon

The Caboodle Ranch got back to me. They are willing to take them in. For 100$ Per cat. To help with the costs to get there shots and the Flea Meds for them. Which is reasonable! My mom is really having a hard time with this. And wants to wait till right before she moves to do anything with them. Soo, there is a cpl months time probably, before she will rehome them. So I have time to keep looking for homes. She wants to stay in Florida near me.. So Bad! So, I am going to talk to her more about trying to find a job here and getting a Small Rental home.. that she can more then easily afford on a lower Paid FT Job.

So we shall see.
