Im having to rehome my cats.
It all started with one. I had him for 2 years and he is my world, so i got him a friend so he wouldnt be lonely whilst i was at work. She was lovely and they bonded instantly.
We had every intention and means to take care of them properly.
Then my husbands mum died. Instert a 5000 pound funeral cost. And we took in her much older cat.
Another month passed and my dad became homeless so we took in his cat too. (Probably stupid and now we had four cats) .
Then amidst all this the little girl we got became pregnant. Then came 5 kittens, 1 died. We managed to find good homes with friends for 2 of them.
But now the tally is six cats.
During all this i was pregnant and its been a whole year of six cats now.
Its been argument after argument with my husband because we dont have the time or income to support the cats. Neither one of us has time to change the litterbox which hasnt been cleaned now in 3 months (absolutely foul i know) and theyve started going toilet in my daughters toy box. Im completely devistated because i know i have to surrendet them to a shelter, but dispite us not properly caring for them we do truly love them. I wish there was something we could do
But the mounting costs that it takes to uphold six cats it mad. And i telll my partner over and over again that if any of them got sick we couldnt help them because we couldnt afford too.
I guess i need consoling that giving them up is the right thing to do
