Apologies in advance as I am new...
To put it simply, I need to find the right person to take care of my cats one day.
I've been contemplating this for a while now... Things in my life just get worse and then unbelievably worse. I always knew I'd be homeless for the rest of my life, but I used to have a station wagon that I planned on living in with the cats, but the engine died and so now it's not an option.
I stay with my grandmother who's 76 and doesn't take care of herself as far as diet and watching out for things that diabetics have to keep an eye on. So someday the day will come when she's not around anymore, and then me and my cats will have no place to go. It could be very soon or it could be so many years down the road that only the younger cats are still around.
To me, they're not just cats. They're my little angels and my little soul mates. Each one was brought to me as a kitten and I've always felt like it was meant to be that those precious girls were brought to me. Though Heidi was my granmda's cat before I came to live with her, I was homeless back then too. Heidi is 10, and is very thin, she might have a thyroid problem that happens to senior cats and need pills (bad side effects posible) or the other alternative is surgery. Salem was my first baby and she's 7, she seems slightly thinner in the rear to me so she should be tested for the thyroid problem too. Sierra's 3 and Skye & Gypsy are both 2. They're all very lovable, sweet, fun, precious girls. All spayed, all declawed except for Salem, but Salem's become timid in the past year or so and runs away from the other cats. Skye's the only one who will come to strangers. The rest will come meet someone new in a matter of a few hours or so, as long as it's quiet. So, all except for Skye, they're pretty timid kitties who don't like a lot of noise, kids, or people. The best kind of home for them is a stable one, no children or teenagers, no parties or visitors every other day coming and going. They're used to a pretty quiet and calm life with no one other than me and my grandma around 99% of the time and that's what they need. They're all strictly indoor cats and should be kept strictly indoors. Salem will claw out of window screens though so you have to keep windows closed.
They do get their shots every year and the brief check-up so they are healthy with the exception of a possible thyroid problem that Heidi and/or Salem might have.
They're very loving girls and will meow or mew when they want attention. I'm pretty sure that they would not like any other pets either. An easy-going cat, they could get used to in a couple of weeks probably. But dogs would be out of the question for them.
I ask only because I don't know anybody. I don't have family or friends. And I want to know that I'd be making the right decision by devolping a relationship with the person or couple that might adopt all of my girls by email and phone and keeping in touch through the years (if that much time goes by), and even have you "meet" and keep in touch with my grandmother too which could only be by phone or snail-mail since she would never want to come in here to see something on the computer.
It's unlikely that my mom would drive me and the cats to your location, and the closer youa re to West Virginia might slightly increase the chance of you not having to come and pick up the cats. I can be homeless anywhere... so relocating my self doesn't matter to me. I just want to do what's best for my girls, and if I am on the streets in the same town or city as where they will live then I can see them sometimes too, and I'm sure they'd be happy to see that I still love them and care about them.
You have to understand that I'm closing in on 30 and I've done nothing but try and work so hard to try to have what everyone else has - a job and a place to live - but this world just won't let me. I'm just someone who falls through the cracks and there's nothing that can be done. I don't have kids, no one will diagnose my depression, I'm fat and employers discriminate across the board, I also have a bad back from getting stabbed in the lower spine several years ago that makes it hard to walk or stand so I can't do physical work for a living. But anyway, this isn't about me. This is about making sure my precious, innocent, lovable girls have a stable place to live for the rest of their lives and will be loved and cared for.
They deserve all the love and happiness and comforts in the world and to live their full natural lives out and feel like I did them right. So if you think you can offer them love, safety & stability for life, please do get in touch with me and we will see if there is a match there in my love and adoration of these girls.
