To make a long story short, six years ago I came across five cats living with their owner in a pick up truck in 90 degree heat. I took them all in during the summer until the owner found an apartment.
In December of 2016 the owner showed up at my door telling me he’d been evicted and had nowhere to take the cats. I took them in, on top of my own seven cats, thinking they’d be here for a few months until the owner had been approved for social security.
Well, it’s been almost two years and the cats are still here! (It’s only three now as one passed a few years ago and another had to be put down this spring as she was very sick.)
What frustrates me to no end is that the owner is spending hundreds of dollars a month for storage units for a bunch of junk (he’s a hoarder). Because of this he can’t afford to rent an apartment. He’s no closer to get housing than he was two years ago!
I’d like to find new homes for the cats since he’s clearly not able to provide them with a home. But unfortunately they are 14-15 years old and it’s hard enough to find a home for a young cat.
I’m so frustrated! I love the cats but there are just too many.
Does anyone have any suggestions of what to do?
