They are two cats: a boy and a girl. They are in good health and have basic feeding requirements. No medications. No history of aggression towards people (boy cat has been territorial around other cats besides his sister).

I'm reposting this hoping it gets different eyes this time, and also because a week has passed and I'm starting to panic. I'm basically planning on being homeless on the 31st.

Coming on 3 weeks ago now, I was illegally evicted from my apartment by my roommate changing the locks while I was away. I've been living in motels and trying to talk to lawyers since. My savings are burning fast and I just can't afford to stay in temporary housing like this. In a week I'm not going to have this hotel room anymore. And I don't know what comes after that. I don't know what I'm doing. I just want to know that my cats are going to be safe and we aren't saying goodbye right now because of this. I want the chance to fix my life and still have my family at the end.

I got kicked out of a situation where I was explicitly told it was okay for me to be there while working on a tech support certification. Now I need to find a home and a job at the same time (how do you even do that?? Where do you look??) and at the same time try to sue the shit out of the guy who did this to me. I just can't afford pet friendly hotels anymore even with the promise of being paid back eventually by the lawsuit. My savings are shredded. I can cope with living in my car for a while but my cats can't. I can't deal with all of this at once on my own. I honestly need help.

I’m nowhere near close enough to help, but here’s a comment for visibility. Hoping you and your kitties get some help!

I'm so sorry. I really hope you can figure out somewhere for you and your cats to stay. I'm not sure how I could help. This sucks

I wish I was in the area. That all fucking sucks.

I'm in southern California but not really in a position to board any cats, as I'm living at home and it's not my place to offer it. I could potentially ask around at work? Don't know how much you'd trust complete strangers though.

They're going to be with strangers wherever they get boarded. As long as I can track them down and check in on them it's better than a crate or a cage that's still somehow 70 dollars a day.

Not in California, but commenting for visibility as well. I hope everything works out in the end for you and your kitties.

I'm sorry. I wish I was closer.

Have you contacted any local foster orgs or humane societies? I don't think you can do it directly through them, but they might be able to get you in contact with someone who can help

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

That's so horrible, I hope you can find someone to take care of them

Different continent but keeping this alive so the fluffs can find a warm place.

I wish I was nearby, it's a real shame what happened.
