i am cross posting this for a friend:


Hi. My name is Kelly Dougherty and I live in Berlin, CT. I
currently volenteer

on your website
> because I am in desperate need of help to find homes for two cats
that are NOT
> my own.
> My boyfriend committed suicide on Christmas Day and left
behind two
> wonderful cats with no instructions for what is to be done with
them. With the
> permission of his parents, we have kept them at the Animal
Hospital of Berlin,
> where I currently work as a kennel attendant. However, his
parents refuse to
> fund their stay any longer and the hospital has some rules
regarding keeping
> animals at the hospital without funding. I have been asking
around, through
> AAWL, family, friends, and PetFinder.org but no one is willing to
take in the
> cats. His parents are "allergic" to them and various other people
have said
> that they cannot take in another cat because of their own cats. I
have begged
> my parents, but they too refuse to even foster them. I did a
search and found

to continue

> I don't have much hope in leaving them at the Humane Society or
Pound because

find homes or

until Jan. 20.
> One is named Ajax: a tiger, female, Domestic Short Hair,
spayed and 14years

friendly, purrs

brother, "Zak"

these two

Please help me!!!! I love these cats
and it just

My heart goes out to you and these two cats. I can't imagine how horrific this must be for you and for the cats. I hope you can find a good home for them soon.
