I wish I could take in your babies, but I already have two and that’s the maximum we are allowed.

BUT
I urge you to contact the Cat House on the Kings sanctuary (it is in South California)

The are no kill and take all sorts of cats in.

I know some people in SoCal so will ask around (am in Ohio myself so can’t really help). But I do want you to know that I know several people who have successfully and safely placed pets through Craig’s List. I also know a lot of REALLY serious animal-lovers who check Craig’s List first because they know that the animals at no-kill shelters are safe while the animals on Craig’s List are on a time-line. According to my gf, charging even a small “rehoming” fee keeps most of the trawlers at bay since there are free animals available so readily these days that there’s not reason to bother paying $5 or $10 for a single animal (which is still WAY cheaper than the people looking for pets would have to pay to the pound). Good luck, dear *hug*

I hope you can find a good person to save your kittens,

That’s the best thing I can find for you but you may also want to talk to the people who work at the no kill shelters. They usually have a kind heart and may opt to keep one of the kittens.

A pretty comprehensive list in case other options fall through, but I’m thinking you’re gonna get individuals to help. Hang in there.

Lex,

I’m a friend of EM Lynley’s and do cat rescue up in the Bay Area (which is why I have 13 cats). I’m originally from Southern Cal and am going to try and find my old contacts to see if I can find anyone to help. Don’t turn them out or send them to a shelter; between everyone you WILL find homes for them. Would you be willing/able to drive them up here if homes could be found for them in Northern Cal? Just throwing that out there. They’re beautiful kitties and I’ll do anything I can to help. My email is zhadi@aol.com – please feel free to contact me.

Best,
Dana

Reading through your comments, it looks like you have several people ready to offer you some homes! Congrats! You have my sympathy! I’m in a similar situation: I have to place several critters due to my current unemployment and I’m hanging onto them tooth and nail until I find the perfect homes! I know how hard it is to be forced to give up a beloved pet. I’m sure you will be able to find arrangements for them other than high kill shelters, and you are already making some progress!

I’m all the way across the country (found you via Neil Gaiman Twitter), but I have a huge pet rescue email list. Our extended contacts go all over the country, and I will be sure to forward them this page!

I wish you luck for your beautiful kitties and yourself!

Got the link through Neil Gaiman’s tweet.

I’d like to talk a bit about this Tux — sounds perfect for what I’m looking for. Not sure if I can take any just yet, but if you could email me (bowserette(at)gmail(dot)com) and tell me a bit more about him, that would be great.

Thanks hon. Hope everything works out. Xoxo

Hi luv, I’d take ‘em in a second if I wasn’t on the other side of the continent. What about putting signs up around the neighborhood? Or in the local library? That tends to work fairly well.

Your comments don’t really explain much. Your landlord shouldn’t be able to suddenly change your lease to “no pets” without warning—you have legal recourse if there is a pet clause in your lease. Is there?

Stick it out. Don’t kill your cats because you have a crazy landlord.
