All right, I'm in a little bit of a bind here, and every little bit of help helps. My family has recently suffered some financial disasters (lost job, broken brakes and transmission, car crash, etc.) and we're finding it very difficult to take care of my brother's cats. Now, I love the little guys (five of them wouldn't exist if they had just SPAYED the cat last November like I wanted, but I digress), but they're eating us out of house and home (literally). Most of the people in our area (that would make good homes) either already have cats or happen to be dog people. Other members of my family want to just dump the kittens at the local shelter, but our shelter is understaffed, underpaid, and overwhelmed (especially this time of year). I don't want to lose the kittens, but it might be the best option for their health and safety in the long term.
True, my first impression of the original cat wasn't great (my introduction to the new member of the family was stepping in cat crap on the carpet), and my introduction to the kittens wasn't much better (mother cat gave birth in my room), but over the months and (in mother cat's case) year I've been taking care of them (feeding, cleaning them, cleaning up after them, cleaning the litterbox, cleaning the food dishes, etc.) I've grown to love the fuzzy little furball-hacking-sweater-shredding-poop-machines. (After all, it's not like THEY knew it was my favorite sweater, they were just sharpening their claws, and at least it wasn't the carpet.)
Any help (where to get free food samples, cat food coupons, cheaper food options, etc.) would be appreciated.
