Hello
I have a kitten who will be one year old on March 24th. He is a wonderful kitten who loves dogs, kids, and attention. I absolutely adore him, but I have a problem. I got my kitten (his name is Paka, it means Cat in Swahili) before moving to Atlanta, but in coming here, I met a man whom I will be marrying in the future. The problem is that my future husband is dreadfully allergic to cats. We have tried many different things to fix it, but it is a severe allergy. We live in a studio apartment downtown, so it's not feasible to make Paka an outdoor cat either. I don't know what the most humane thing is for me to do. I love Paka, but cannot keep him. I have asked all of my friends, and none of them are able to keep a cat either. Is a no kill shelter the most humane way to go? What is life like for cats at a shelter? I'm very concerned with Paka's happiness and don't know how to go about taking care of him at this point. Does anyone have any advice????
