What Say Thee?
Oh god, you poor thing. I've gone all teary just having to think about doing that.
Big big hugs for you xxx
Oh no! They can't go to friends or family for the time being, until you move out?
Kate- I have spent twenty four hours crying!
Marjolein- I've been looking for a place to move out to all week but cannot find somewhere where that will let me have cats... I am hoping that they will go nearby so that I can visit though... IT IS SO SAD!
Aw honey you're doing your best for them, I'm sure whoever gets them will love them like you do. ((HUG))
That is so sad. I think I would rather have Papa put down. No I didn't say that! Hope there is a way round it.
The times that I have been heartbroken over pets.I couldn't go through with it again.
I am *so* sorry! I've been lurking since the earliest days of your marvellous blog, but now it's time to break cover.
Let me tell you the other side of the story, from my own experience, in case that helps. Our very beloved ancient moggy died of extreme old age about two years ago. After three months of mourning, we adopted a darling two-year-old cat from the Blue Cross. His owners had handed him in because family circumstances (a bit like yours) meant that they had to give him up, even though they must have loved him very much.
When we saw him in the cattery, it was love at first sight. He's a completely different character from our old mog, but everyone adores him -- even the man who delivers the morning papers stops for a cuddle. Having him around has done wonders for my husband's depression, and I can't imagine our home without him in it now.
So, you know, you may feel you're betraying your beautiful kitty-cats, but by rehoming them through a pet charity, you're giving them the best possible chance of a loving home. I know that won't stop you missing them hugely but at least you'll know that they'll be more than ok. You may even be making a significant contribution to the happiness and well-being of complete strangers...
And once you're living in your own, cat-friendly place again, you can go back to the pet charity and find some new furry friends. They won't be the same as the friends you've just had to give up, but they *will* be very lovely.
Awww, that's so sad 
My girl cat Pink has some other homes (because she fights with boy cat Floyd a lot) and last year one of them tried to take her to Canada with them when they emigrated.
I went round to confront them for (in my eyes anyway) trying to steal my cat. They weren't in but Pink was. She heard my voice outside and ran to the window with one paw resting on it wailing to be let out.
I cried like a bitch and sat outside their house until the owners came home. I got her back for a while but she's gone again now. I'm still sad about it
Oh I'm so sorry Mask Girl. It would be lovely if you could re home them with friends or rellies, but aren't you going off to uni too?
I am sure the charity will find them good homes. Three is no age for a cat and not everyone wants the hastle of kittens climbing curtains and breaking ornaments. A lot of people also want two cats.
We have Bernie blind cat because the owner couldn't cope with his disabilities and look what a good home he has now.
Please feel free to visit me and my virtual cats anytime.
Love Debs (x)
Akelamalu- I sure hope so!
Maggie May- given the choice, I'd chose the cats over Dad too.
Elle- thank you so much for sharing your story with me. It made me cry, because I just hope and pray that they will have the chance to bring such joy into somebody elses life as they have mine.
G- It is nice to know that I am not alone.
Debs- Thank you. I am studying as a mature student in Sept, but it will be from home. I plan to move out then, but only to be around the corner from mama! x
Oh that's so sad. I would be heartbroken too.
I'm so sorry. I can't imagine having to every give up my beloved animal. I'm all choked up even thinking about it.
I am so very sorry about your cats. That is just so sad. I know it is for the best, but I wish there was some other way. I am sure they will find very good homes, where they will get a lot of love. Keep that in the front of you mind.
Take care!
If they're going to a rescue home they'll be re-homed appropriately. It's where our own Claudius, smelly and greedy and 16 years old, came from.
You're not giving up on them, just giving them another chance somewhere else. People who use recsue centres "really" like cats, so they'll find somewhere nice.
Suburbia- Yes, it is very hard.
Sarah- Yup! Horrible!
Eileen- I will try to. Thank you.
2-Sox- You are right. Thank you. I will try to remember that.
x
Oh you poor thing - no wonder your heart is breaking. I'm sure though the rescue home will find them a very loving and special home - and that's what you have to hold on to - that, and the fact that you have given the best you can for the time you had together. Big hug.
*Hug*, darling. I'm so sorry.
Vanilla (and Atyllah)- Thank you. Everytime I talk to them right nw I well up!
Z- Me too...
I would be heartbroken as well. I feel for you. That had to be a very difficult decision for you.
oh babe how sad i'm sure they'll understand and be given to really loving homes and live in luxery.
Huge massive hugs to you xox
Ian- Awful. Just awful.
Emmie- Thank you so much
x
Oh my god, Girl, I'm so so sorry, this is horrific, I'm so sad for you. I have obviously led a very sheltered life because losing my two dogs was the worst thing that has ever happened to me and I feel your pain very keenly. I'm sure you've tried everything and made your decision but my brother is very allergic and has had injections to help - not sure if your dad could go through that to save them? Lots of hugs xx M
Marianne- I'll look into that... thanks for sharing your story with me x
Oh I know how difficult it is...I haven't seen my bunny for months and I really miss her although I know she's being taken care of back home.
Just two weeks before I came here in September, I helped a friend adopt a beautiful orange cat. I went visit almost every day. He was so cute.
He just started to be comfortable with me. But I had to leave. And I actually cried...
I know it must be a lot harder for you. However, please believe they will be placed in a nice new home with people who love them...
Nic- It amazes me that I can feel so emotional over an animal, but it would seem that I am not alone! x
So sad! I'm sure they will find a good home for your girls... but my heart goes out to you. My roommates are breaking up and they have a dog, for whom I claim the title of Auntie. She is my cuddle buddy on nights that I don't have my girlfriend to keep me warm, and I am going to miss her TERRIBLY. I wish I could give you a great big hug!
Anon- I wish you could too, though I have stopped crying about it now. I just feel a bit numb about it instead.
