So after a long time of thinking it over, I found it in my cats interest to rehome them when the time comes. No family or friends can take care of them and the only person who can, and likes cats, can't due to her extremely high prey drive terrier yorkie mix (we think Silky/Shih Tzu). Who's also VERY aggressive towards other pets. It's simply unsafe for them. So for their sake, and my inability to take them with me due to my new living arrangements, I have to look for a new home for them.
The only thing is their age and chances of adoption. Meja is 10 and Bud is 12. So age wise, they're already low on the totem pole on most likely to be adopted. And while Bud very people and cat friendly, Meja is very shy and would seem to do best in a home as the only cat, or one other at most. So I'm looking for advice on shelters or ways they'll be given a good home and less likely to be put down. There's a cat specific shelter here that lets the cats roam and has few young cats, so higher chance of someone coming in and finding an older cat, but I think they're full and unable to take anymore in. All I can think of beyond that is the humane society.
And I would take them with me if I could but I genuinely can't. I can't, and won't, bend rules to bring them with me and I'll be unable to keep them for a few years as well. So with the indefinite time span and rules that disallow pets where I'll be staying, as well as a lack of people who can take them, this really is my only option.
