My mother in law is in hospice and imminently dying. She has 2 cats, and both myself and my sister in law are allergic and cannot take them when she passes. We are looking for the best option for placement for them where they will not risk being put down. They are both indoor cats.

Story
Lucy and Ethel are litter mates that I rescued 10 years ago when they were kittens. They lived outdoors and weren’t well cared for. They are super sweet cats and I truly hate the thought of rehoming them. However, as I age my allergies for pet dander has gotten extremely worse, intolerable. I started doing allergy shots and have gotten no relief. My physical health is suffering and they sure need and deserve all the love, cuddles, and pets. They still have their claws and are strictly indoor cats. They have to stay together! They typically hide when a visitor comes. They tolerate my grandkids but are used to a quiet home with no other pets. Ethel has to be on rx dry food diet from two prior issues with bladder stones. I’m so concerned about finding a loving home, that I will continue to provide at my expense, the rx food just for peace of mind and her care. They are not on any medications. I have the paperwork on all their up to date shots and microchipping.

Story
Ozzy is a very cool cat. He is an amazingly chill but spunky 3 year old love of a kitty. This is a heartbreaking process because we are moving and can’t bring him to our new home due to guidelines. Ozzy was raised with other cats and a dog. He has no fear and gets along great with everyone-all furry friends ❤️. Ozzy will melt your heart and keep you entertained! We love him and hope a good home will welcome him and love him as much as we have.

Story
Rita is an extremely affectionate cat. She was left behind by some neighbors who moved away. We have been feeding her for the past three months. However, we realized she cannot defend herself and often shows up injured. The last time this happened, we decided to bring her inside to treat her wounds. She is currently receiving medication, has been dewormed, and is improving. Unfortunately, we cannot keep her as we already have other cats in the house, including one who is 15 years old and very stressed by Rita’s presence. Rita is incredibly loving, always asking to be held. Despite being brought indoors, she hasn’t complained at all. Even when I tend to her wounds, she kneads the whole time, as if she’s comforting herself.
