I am so distraught right now this will probably not make much sense, I want to thank anyone that does read this, maybe writing will help me feel a little better.
I moved from Illinois to Florida to be with my Mom. I moved with all 10 of my cats. They were all strays that I took in and they were all fixed and had shots. They ranged from 20 years old to 1 year old, I was not able to have children so these are my life.
My mother's landlord said that I could keep the cats until I could find homes for them. I tried all over and since they were all older nobody wanted them and the shelters were full. I was given a week to "get rid of" 7 of my cats. It was so hard to choose.
I took 3 of the kittens to pet groomers that I had met. She had them 3 weeks and said she found a good home for them and they all stayed together, but she didn't sound too convincing to me, not enough details for me.
I had a friend that said he would take my 2 9 year olds, if I would come and take care of them. I did, he left the door open and they disappeared and they have not been seen by anyone in the neighborhood in over a week, they were not outdoor cats, and were very shy.
Now I have had to make the hard decision to have my 20 year old put to sleep. I have had her since I left college and I have sat and thought about it and besides family I have only kept in touch with 6 other people in my life longer than Moe. She has been sick for some time, but I have been telling myself that she would get better, but she keeps getting worse. She can barely walk, has lost so much weight and her eyes are matted shut often.
I have never had to put an animal down and I am not sure I can handle it. I have an appointment with the vet later today (Tuesday). Please keep Moe and I in your thoughts. Thank you. Melinda
