I am in a very bad situation here and need to get out of this house. I won't bore you
with all the details, but I will be going into a women's shelter for a short time until I
can find work and get settled again...no cats allowed... :-( What I need is someone to
take my two boys for that time. I''m hoping that it won't be any longer than 2 to 4
weeks, if all goes according to plan.

Brat (Siamese) was declawed on all 4 feet by his previous owner. Linus (Maine Coon) has
not been declawed. Both are neutered and both are well behaved. You can see them by
clicking on the link to my Yahoo album below.

I am looking for someone in Red Deer, Alberta, as that is where I will be moving from
here, and I would like to at least be able to visit with them. I will miss them terribly
and I'm certain that I won't be able to sleep without my bed companions, but as long as I
know I can get them home again, I will get by.

Is there anyone in Red Deer who would be willing to help me out here?....Please?

I'm sorry I can't help, but you might be able to contact your local rescue
organization. They have people who foster cats for them and they might
be able to help. Best of luck.

I can't help, I'm too far away ... But might I suggest you call your vet
and explain the situation. Manytimes they may be able to help you, find
another client who might help or put you in touch with a shelter for cats or
someplace that might help.

I know it's not the preferred route, but I had a friend who also had to go
to a shelter for a few weeks and she found a no-kill shelter for her dog,
went to visit her dog during the separation, and then retrieved her when she
could. I hope you find a solution. Good luck :-)

Hi Michelle,

You're right, of course. An animal shelter is less than perfect. My biggest fear with
using one of them is that my boys will come into contact with so many other animals. They
may come down with some disease that I cannot afford to treat. That would be terrible.
But it is still better than the alternative for sure!

Thanks for the ideas.

Hi Sabrina's Mom,

That too is a good idea. I will see what I can find out tomorrow. I am still in the
planning stages and won't be leaving here until I know my boys are safe too. I couldn't
live with myself if anything happened to them.
