**PLEASE HELP ME** I need help.

My life has come to a complete halt: I have seven cats, my husband and I are probably heading toward divorce, neither one of us has jobs, and we both have to relocate because we are in a tiny, dead town.

We've been trying to work on projects, and eking by, but I can't take the no-steady-income stress anymore. Lots of other things, but I can go be with any number of sisters or friends, though I can't bring all my cats, and my husband can't take them, either.

Is there ANYONE in the southeast or mid-Atlantic who would be willing to adopt and love forever one or two of my cats? I currently live in western North Carolina; I can deliver from that area, down to Atlanta, or up to the DC area. Or then over toward Montana/Boise where a friend and one sister live.

I will try to keep 2-3, but I can't have 7. There is one tuxedo male, and then 4 females, all spayed or neutered, recent shots, too.

Please respond to this email or PM me. I will reply as I can; tomorrow I fly home and can reply then, too.

I really need help. I am cross-posting this in pets and a few state forums.

2. Try posting this
to your local craigslist with pics of the kitties, too. If I were in the areas specified, I would gladly help you out, sweetie. So sorry life has handed you so much to deal with right now. Hang in there. :hug:

3. Hey flax. I am going through the same thing right now
I need to move out of here next month and I need to find a place that will let me have three cats. It's scary. I made a promise to give my cats a forever home and I will do all I can do achieve that. But once they are gone, I will never get another cat again. I will find a roommate that has a lot of cats that I can enjoy!

5. Petfinder.com
Hit up the cat rescue folks. Explain to them that you'll deliver them, that they're fixed and up to date on shots. Animal rescue has an incredible network with more sub-networks than I can count. Good luck.

8. thanks, everyone. I have just a minute to check, but some
good advice. I found a former neighbor who will take two... so I am making some progress. I am just so scared, and I thank all of you for the kicks, replies and vibes.

:hug:

9. Go to bestfriends.org
and look for your local support network. If you can't find it, email info at bestfriends.org -- they reply pretty well.

Good luck, dear one. :hug: Thinking of you.
