sad news

we are having to give jericho away tomorrow. apparently my asthma just cant handle it. i had a bad asthma attack monday night and its a miracle im alive. the doctors said he didnt help and we have to find him a new home. im completely devastated. i feel like im giving my child up for adoption. hes going to the best home i could ask for and i know he will get the life he deserves and all the love in the world, but its killing me inside.

i guess i just need help with how to deal. i cant believe im going home to an empty house tomorrow and that he wont be there to greet me when i wake up or get home from work. i dont get to say goodbye and i dont know when ill be able to see him again since he is going to be 2 hours away. its really hard for me to wrap my head around it all. im having to change my whole lifestyle and now i have to get rid of him on top of everything. my boyfriend is tore up over and im feeling a ton of guilt about bringing him into our home and now 4 months later having to give him away. i just dont want him to think i abandoned him. i really hope he understands.

I'm so, so, sorry hun but you must put your health first, asthma is not something to take lightly. You have found Jericho a good home so you have totally done the right thing, I know you will miss him but you will know he is ok. I don't think any words can make you feel better but you really HAVE done the right thing.xxx

i know. i know its for the best, and i know ive done everything i can to make sure he is ok. i just hope it doenst hurt like this for long.

I'm really sorry. I don't know what else to say, except I wish they'd find a solution for you that would allow you to keep, or get back your cat. It must be really sad.

But, at least you found him a good home, and that's a wonderful thing - something so many kitties don't have and need.

Sweetheart, as hard as it is, you have to do what's best for your health.

*hugs* I know how you feel. I have asthma but take advair so I can survive with my kitties.

thank you all, he went to his new home today and is adjusting much better than i had expected. i think im more shook up than he is. he has new kitty friends to play with and a great new mom. my boyfriend said he is already his old self and into everything which makes me happy to hear. i just cant wait to get to visit him

I bet he's adjusting so well because you gave him love and security at your home. I'm so sorry your health didn't allow you to keep him, but it sounds like you found him a very good forever home.

Awwwww! I am so sorry you had to give up your Jericho! Just remember you found him a new loving home, and he will never forget you.......
