Shalua's kittens need new homes

 

We're looking for homes for Shalua's kittens (now grown cats). Our city is so overcrowded with homeless cats (there're a dozen running loose on our block from the same source as the ones we rescued) that we couldn't find anyone to adopt them and the shelter automatically kills everything that's dropped off because they're overcrowded and cannot find homes for the cats they already have. Every home we had lined up has fallen through... they decided they didn't want more cats, someone gave them an adorable kitten and they didn't want another, someone wanted an outside cat because the coyotes ate hers (FUCK THAT).

 

Unfortunately, my evil cat-hating home nurse (who didn't like my 3 old cats sitting in the living room) instead of turning my case over to someone else, simply stopped coming to change my IV (causing my IV to go too long without a change and rupture one day in my kitchen. I'm considering suing the shit out of them at the moment) and called animal control saying I had "unhealthy cats", because she thinks my having any cats at all is unhealthy in my condition. Passive aggressive much? (In case you missed the back story, I have Lyme Disease, yes I was bit by a tick while camping, they didn't catch it in time, I have to take IV antibiotics every day until I die, basically) So now I suddenly have to find them homes NOW.

 

They're sweet cats, and they need INDOOR homes (without dogs), 2 of the brothers are pure white and go limp when you pick them up (like rag dolls). One of them is EXACTLY like Shalua, but bigger. The other 3 brothers are grey, black and tabby. They like to roll on my wool carpets from Afghanistan (smell like sheep I guess?) and chase furry mice. They are all extremely people oriented, but shy of large men and loud noises. 

 

If you know anyone in Southern California who has been looking for a cat and thinking long term about what adopting one is going to mean (not going off to college in a year and planning to dump them on the 'rents, moving to Peru as a foreign exchange student, marrying some girl with a rottweiler) I could really use some help right now...

I wish I didn't live on the other side of the country, because I would take one in a heart beat. Your nurse sounds like a bitch. I'm sorry you have to go through this and I hope you find good homes for these adorable kitties!

If I didn't live in a different country, I would totally adopt one of your cats. I hope you find nice homes for them, all pets deserved to have a loving family care for/worship them :3

If I had a car, I would seriously just drive them to wherever they would have a good home. :(

That is so sad - I know how hard it is to rehome cats as we have far too many of them here on the farm and I have more or less given up trying to find homes for any of them. I hope you manage to find them good homes.
The nurse sounds a complete bitch - I didn't realise you had Lyme's - it' something I have heard a lot about about never knew anyone who had contacted it - that was very very bad luck.

I'm going to talk to my father about this tomorrow! I was a cat owner a couple years ago and I miss it so much! Plus, those just might be the most adorable cats I've ever seen.

By the way, I'd like to punch that nurse in the face.

Punch her once for me.
