2 CATS IN URGENT NEED OF A HOME OR FOSTER HOME!
These two cats are living alone in a condo in the suburbs. Their elderly caretaker passed away in October. A neighbor has been taking care of them the best she can. The caretaker’s daughter has such severe asthma that she can only spend mere minutes near the cats. Her mother was an animal lover, and after she passed, in lieu of flowers, they asked that donations be made to a large rescue group in Chicago. The daughter has been desperately searching for a home for these cats, but nobody has been able or willing to take them in…including that large Chicago rescue group. Time is running out for them as the daughter can no longer continue to pay the bills at the condo.
They have to be out in the next two weeks!
Here is the letter we received from the daughter:
“These cats belonged to my mom who passed away 10-31-10. I am desperately looking for good homes for them. My mom was a genuine animal lover and rescued these cats as kittens from a snow storm many years ago. Right now, they remain in her condo and their basic needs are being met by a neighbor in her building. I live 50 miles from her place. Also, I have the unfortunate task, with no one to help me, of emptying out her condo and selling it. I am severely allergic to the cats and I cannot begin this process until I find places for the cats so I can have it professionally cleaned. I am running out of time because I am having to continue to pay for the condo and that can't go on much longer. I either have to get it on the market ASAP or rent it out-neither can be done with the cats there. I can't even get started until they are gone. My mom would have given her life for those cats. Within a few weeks, I will have to put them down if I can't find homes because I will have no other choice. I have been searching for over two months now-using internet networking, fliers, email, word of mouth-and I think I have contacted most shelters in the area and have been denied. It is already a very emotional situation for me losing my mom and now I have to face the possibility of having to euthanize her cats if I can't find good homes for them.
Both cats are older and healthy. Cat #1 in photo, "Red" is 11, male, about 17 lbs, neutered, and has claws. He was last at the vet 08/10 and everything is up to date and I have copies of the vet records. He loves adults and is desperate for human contact. . Cat #2, Lucky, He is 13, has claws, is about 16 lbs, male, neutered), and was last at the vet in 2008. I have his records from his last visit too. This cat is not aggressive but is very afraid of strangers. He spends his time hiding from people since my mom has been gone. He does not know me because I hardly went there when my mom was alive because of my allergies and asthma. Please forward this info to anyone that may be able to help me. It is vital that I not only find homes for them but that I know they are well cared for and happy. That is what my mom would want and I would rather see them euthanized than mistreated. Thank you so much for your help.”
If you know of anyone who can take these boys in either temporarily or permanently, please contact Cindy @ (773) 203-0215 or cindy@virtuallyhomechicago.org
