This is a long shot, but I figure Iāll try.
My cats are in danger. Iāve posted a little about it, but hereās the summary: Yesterday, 12/1/17, my abusive father called me to tell me heās tired of having 4 cats in the house (2 are mine, 1 is my brotherās and the remaining cat was the family/my dead brotherās cat). He proceeded to graphically describe the horrific, painful, bloody deaths he wanted to give them. But then tell me, in typical manipulative abusive fashion, that heĀ ājust couldnāt do it, because it would be like killing a part of [me].ā I said I would try and find a home for them ASAP. I do not trust this man. I do not think they are in a safe place. I am constantly worried about their safety but I live Ā¾ of the way across the country and have no way to get there, get them, and bring them safely to me. My apartment complex has a pet limit, and weāve hit it. Even if we hadnāt, thereās no way I could scrounge up the money for me to retrieve them AND $1000 in pet fees/deposits AND comprehensive vet checks to ensure theyāre ok.
But wait, you think, if I knew he was such a horrible human being, why are my cats living with them? Short answer is, I didnāt know that he was such a vile, disgusting person as to threaten the health and safety of innocent animals that have never done anything to him. When I originally left my cats at my parentās house, my parents were still married and mom took care of them. When they got divorced, my mom refused to take the cats (because it was inconvenient for her), but my dad had a girlfriend that loves cats, so I felt like they were safe. Theyāve broken up, Iāve been in a really tight spot financially and I canāt figure out if this is an attempt to further control my life, or get back at her. Both, maybe. My mom now lives with her fiance, who has a husky who thinks cats are food and theyāre about to get a puppy. Neither cat does well with dogs.
This is my plea: If you are in the Northern Connecticut/Hartford Area and would be willing to adopt one, or both, of my fuzzy boys please let me know.Ā Theyāre both wonderful, loving cats and they donāt deserve this.
This is Tiger. I adopted him as a kitten in 2008, so he should be around 10 years old this coming year. He is neutered and is absolutely an indoor only cat (he is literally scared of the sky, the few times he has darted out the door because the other cats talked him into it, he would run off the porch, look up, and run back on the porch and hide under the porch chairs and yell until someone came to get him). He does not have a microchip. As you can see, he needs to go on a diet.Ā Heās a loud, whiny drama king that likes to follow people into the bathroom so that you have to pet him while youāre on the toilet. He isnāt a fan of new situations so I expect that he would take some time to warm up to a new home. I think he would be happy in either a home where heās the only cat OR in a home where there are other cats. Heās never lived with dogs. He prefers to typically lay NEXT to you (but touching) than on you (thank goodness because thatās a lot of cat). Tiger will pat at you with one of his paws when itās time to pet him, and he purrs like a motor. He is not up to date on shots or vet checks or anything like that. The last one he had was most likely when I brought him last, in 2013, prior to having to leave him at my parentās house because I was in provided housing for internship where I wasnāt allowed to have pets. I havenāt been in a situation where I could take him myself, and my parents donāt see the point in bringing a cat to the vet.Ā
This is Mumford. I adopted him in 2012. I think heās about 6-8 years old.Ā He is neutered and has been an indoor cat. He does have a microchip. Mumford is a super chill cat that does like to snuggle right in your lap. My dadās girlfriend used to scoop him into the baby hold and walk around cradling him while he purred loudly in her arms. He loves people. Absolutely loves them. He would be most happy in a multi-cat household. He snuggles with the other cats and grooms them. When I brought Mumford home, Tiger had been an only cat for about a month. This was, apparently, enough time for Tiger to get adjusted to being an only cat and he threw a hissy fit and wouldnāt even stay on opposite sides of the bed as him for 9 months. Mumford, on the other hand, was ready to be bros for life from day 1. When Mumford was introduced to the 2 other cats they now live with, he again transitioned smoothly and with grace. He is a sweet boy that wants to jump on your back and lay down while youāre bent over to tie your shoes. He gives little love nips to let you know if itās time to stop petting him. Again,Ā He is not up to date on shots or vet checks or anything like that. The last one he had was most likely when I brought him last, in 2013 prior to having to leave him at my parentās house because I was in provided housing for internship where I wasnāt allowed to have pets. I havenāt been in a situation where I could take him myself, and my parents donāt see the point in bringing a cat to the vet.
These are 2 incredibly sweet boys who deserve a safe, loving home where they are wanted. Iām stuck in a horrible position, where my hands are essentially tied and thereās not much that I can do except hope that someone, somewhere, will be willing to take them in. I would consider splitting them up, mostly because Tiger does seem like he would be very happy to be an only cat with a human that would dote on him.Ā I donāt know that theyāll come with anything, even carriers. I used to have 2 large, roomy, hard-sided carriers for them but I donāt know if my dad still has them or not. I just want them somewhere safe and loved.
Please, feel free to share this around and please message me if youāre interested or have any questions.Ā
( @pangur-and-grim would you be willing to signal boost this for me?)
