Our Cats

The Cats

We need to find temporary foster homes for our three little fur babies. The youngest is Kody (Baron Kodak von Rumplepumpkin). He is a ginger kitty that is playful and is everyone's friend. He loves cuddling in the nook between your legs or between your thigh and the chair. He plays fetch with paper wads and SOME kitty ball toys. The next is our fat grey kitty, Macy. Macy is a skittish cat that, despite having only known our presence for the 12 years of her life, has only recently begun to be a cat. She will probably take a while to get to know folks, but is otherwise a low-maintenance kitty that will SOMETIMES play with a laser pointer (if she deems your play worthy of her time), but nothing else. Our oldest is the momma to Macy and they are inseparable. Callie is an old (14 years) grey kitty that has some special needs. She has arthritis in her lower back that is visible, bumps along her spine near the tail. She can no longer jump and will not be able to get onto furniture. I do, however, have a padded stair that she knows how to use to climb higher. Because of her arthritis, she also does not make it to the litter box. She knows where it is and gets very close. I have been laying down dog pee pads, and she uses those just fine. If Callie is fostered, I will insist on sending a specific cardboard box that she has taken as her fortress of solitude. It's a medium sized Chewy box with some of the paper padding inside.

The Situation

My wife is disabled from brain surgery to remove a tumor. I have been unemployed for a while. I have an unprecedented opportunity to help build a business from the ground up. Free boarding. But it is far away, and will not be able to host our kitties. We certainly do not want to give our babies up, but we are looking for some temporary homes/home for them to stay while we get our feet back underneath us. We are looking for a term of somewhere between three (3) and five (5) months of care. We are also VERY aware that Callie is reaching "that" age and could very well pass while we are away. This is something we definitely want to hear about if it happens.

The Plea

If you feel like you could take on Callie and Macy or if you feel like you could take all three of them on, we would be MOST appreciative. There are only a couple other pertinent details. They are all used to a grain-free, but just getting fed is my priority, not the diet specifics. They are used to a running-water fountain to drink from. If you do not have one, I have two in case they must go to different homes.

Thank you VERY much for reading through the wall of text! If you feel like you are able to help, please contact me by email ([email protected]) with the subject line: "THE CATS" (Yes, all caps, please)
