Sorry, can't help you on taking in the cats, but I can offer you purrs
and work wishes, thoughts, and meditations.  I understand your concern,
it would be ours too.  Any luck with working out something with the
various help places?  I.E. Salvation Army, human and animal shelters, or
other church groups?  Most don't care what religion you are, and would
rather keep your cats with you than have to add them to the vast numbers
that need new families.  

Also, talk to your mortgage company.  They really do hate to repo a
house, and may be able to work something out with you.  This is really
hard, I know, please keep us informed and we hope that you can keep your
family together, and get work soon.  What kind of work do you and your
husband do?

Can't do much but send prayers and the purrs of the cats here that
you'll find something and be able to keep the family together.

 Purrs and prayers from us that you won't have to give up either your home
or the kitties. Hang in there.

Sorry, I can't help with the kitties. Perhaps if you contact your local
Humane Society they might be able to arrange a foster home for your
kitties while you straighten out your finances?

That's terrible news and please believe me when I say you have my purrs.  I
cannot help with the cats, but I do have a suggestion.  Get in touch with
their vet and see if they know of anyone who is willing to foster them.
There are also many pet rescue orgs which could possibly help.

Here in Memphis we have The House of Mews, which takes in cats.  If the cats
are not adopted, they live out their lives in this old refurbished midtown
store front with lots of friends, toys, etc.  They aren't caged; they are
free to roam around the place.  It is staffed by volunteers (including vets
who donate services and time) and paid for by donations; it's totally cool.
I can't walk by the large plate glass window without seeing at least a
handful of cats lounging around on the cat trees, playing with toys, napping
in the sun.  Perhaps there is such a place near where you live, should the
worst happen.

Good luck,
Jill

Lots and lots of extra-strong purrs and best wishes for both your husband
and you to find great jobs so you can keep your kitties,

I am far away and don't know anyone in your area, but we are sending
out purrs in hopes that everything works out for you.

Sorry I'm unable to help, but I just wanted to sympathise with you
and wish you good luck in finding jobs before its too late,and
being able to keep your kitties, sending many purrs and hugs on
a wishing star to you!!!!      Jean P.

I looked on mapquest and it looks like Crewe, VA is fairly
close to Richmond, VA.  There is a very new, beautiful
SPCA there.  Here is their website URL:

http://www.richmondspca.org/site/PageServer

Here are some services that they have for pets and people:

http://www.richmondspca.org/site/PageServer?pagename=PS_PetsandPeopleHelp

Several programs look like they could be possibilities for you.  If
the Richmond SPCA can't help directly, I'm sure they would have leads
for assistance in your area.

Another why to find places near you that might be able to help:

http://www.petfinder.com  

list pets for adoption and the groups that
are caring for them.  Select animal = "cats", put in your zipcode,
select
range = "regional".  Click on the organization names to the left of
the list to get information about organizations near you that might
be able to help.

Purrs and prayers that you find work immediately at that you can sort out
the situation without losing your cats. Speak to your mortgage company
they may be able to help. I'm sorry I can't help any more but I'll keep
you in my prayers.
