I'm moving - I'm a university student and I can't afford an apartment of my own any more. I'm moving to one room in a house and I can't take my cat.
I found her a home with a decent sounding guy, he let me call his vet as a reference and let me come look at his place, but he'd never had a cat before and already had a dog. My cat is very easygoing and I thought that once she got used to the dog, she'd at least tolerate it.
I brought her to his house, feeling horrible. She was very scared, she hates travelling in the car. I left her there, and half an hour later he calls me back to say that she's still hiding and had taken swipes at the dog. I told him that she'd need more than half an hour to get used to the place, but he wanted me to come and take her back so I did.
I got her home and I think she peed in the cat carrier. She also has sticky spots on her fur. She's finally starting to wash herself now, an hour or so after we got home.
I need to find her a new home, and soon. I'm moving and can't take her with me. I don't know what to do. I've read people advising to get the cat put down if it comes to that, but she's only 7. I don't want to put her down.
This is her.
I'm in Southern Ontario.
