Do you have a shelter nearby that could courtesy list them, I find you get less spam when listed on the shelter listings than classifieds

i'm hoping to find someone before that - but if i haven't found anyone by wednesday, i'll look into it. i'd really prefer a foster situation, since then i could get them back.
altho i'm moving the household stuff on wednesday, i'll be back on thursday & probably friday to clean, etc. for now, the plan to to leave the 3 here [w/food, litter, etc.] & move the 2. if i simply can't find anywhere, my mom has grudgingly agreed to take one - my nephew is going to check again to see if he can take one, too [his roommate is allergic]. i told him if he keeps her out of the bedroom all the time, it should help a lot. my brother's SO may be able to take one - same deal, as his son is allergic, but doesn't live there full time [i think he & she are living together], & his son does ok when visiting people w/animals. i explained that if his son's bedroom is kept closed, he'd probably be ok.
we're also all praying we find places, & i've asked everyone i know to check w/responsible people they know [that i may not] to see if they have a spot.
not a good time to be looking for homes, since it's kitten season
I got the same kind of response when I posted Goldy and her kittens on petfinder. It was pretty obvious that it was a scam since I got exactly the same email on all three of them. The pets were not named in the email and there was no reference to the others, such as "I'm interested in all three of your cats." I reported it as a scam but don't know how Petfinder followed up.
Don't give up too soon. You can usually tell if it's a legitimate response.
I did eventually get a couple of real responses. Both people were local and gave email addresses and phone numbers. They were also willing to pay cash.
Good luck with your furkids. I hope you can find someone to foster, and then find a place to live that will allow you to have all of them with you again.

Well, nothing.
found a no-kill shelter - they're going for an eval this afternoon (Chip & Firefox). If they pass, the shelter will take them for permanent re-homing :'(

Hey Laureen just a suggestion .... do you think you could ask the place you are staying if you could keep them while you look for a temp home for them?
I know of several people who were allowed to do this.
Its worth asking about.

no. They REALLY didn't want ANY cats. Besides, it's too late. Chip & 'Puter passed their evals w/flying colors. They're gone
Laureen, I'm so sorry this turned out to be the resolutionOriginally Posted by laureen227

So are you going to be able to keep any? I thought two were staying with you at the new place?
And sorry to be dense - but what's a "W/D and no connections?"
...and don't forget, if you're able to find someone to foster Chip and Firefox, since I'm sure you wouldn't be allowed to adopt your own cats back, you could have the foster apply to adopt them, and pay the adoption fees.

w/d=washer/dryer. no connections means i wouldn't be able to connect my own washer & dryer. the place i ended up with had connections, so i brought my washer & dryer.
been working [SLAVING AWAY!] for 4 days cleaning my house from top to bottom. hopefully it's clean enough for my nephew - at least, it'll only take 1 run thru to really finish it. kinda hard to keep cleaning up cat hair while there's 2 cats still there [Pixel & Cable are moving to the new place tomorrow w/me. my stuff is there, but i've been staying @ my parents' house while cleaning - much to Java's delight! she moved here a couple of days ago - i think she's kinda missing her buds, but she's doing ok.]
i'm keeping Cable & Pixel, & my mom is fostering Java for a year, so i'll get her back.
good idea about Chip & Firefox - assuming no one adopts them in the interim.
