I honestly don’t even know how to start this without crying, but I have to try because I really need help. This is one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to write, and I wouldn’t be asking if I had any other choice. I’m looking for a temporary home for my two kitties. I just moved into a new apartment, and they don’t allow cats at all. I didn’t have a real option with moving, and now I feel completely stuck, helpless, and heartbroken in a way that’s hard to even put into words. I’ve had my orange tabby since I was 4 years old, and my grey tabby since I was 10… I’m 16 now. They’ve been with me for most of my life. They’ve grown up with me, and I’ve grown up with them. They’ve been there through every stage—every good day, every bad day, every time I felt alone or overwhelmed. When everything else felt like too much, they were there just sitting next to me, calming me down. They aren’t just pets to me… they are my comfort, my routine, my safe place, my family. The thought of not having them anymore honestly makes me feel empty. Ever since I found out I couldn’t keep them here, I haven’t been able to stop thinking about them. I feel sick with guilt, like I’m letting them down even though I didn’t choose this. They trust me, and I’m so scared they’re going to feel confused or think I abandoned them. That thought keeps replaying in my head, and it’s honestly breaking me. I would never leave them if I had any other option. I’m not ready to say goodbye to them, and I really can’t give them away forever. I’m trying so hard to find a way to fix this, to find another place where I can move and bring them back home. I just need time that I don’t have right now. What I’m asking for is someone kind and understanding who could give them a safe, temporary place to stay. I don’t know exactly how long it will be, but I promise this is not permanent. I will come back for them as soon as I possibly can. I’m willing to pay for their food, litter, and anything else they need. I just need someone who can give them a roof over their heads and treat them gently while I figure this out. If possible, it would mean everything to me if I could still visit them or get updates, just so I know they’re okay and so they don’t feel like I disappeared. They are both very sweet, gentle, and well-behaved cats. They don’t cause problems and just want a calm, safe place. They love soft spots like carpet and cozy places to lay. I can provide scratching posts, toys, food—anything to make this easier. I feel so desperate even writing this. I never thought I would have to ask strangers for help like this, but I don’t have another choice. I’m trying so hard to do the right thing for them, even though it’s breaking my heart. Please, if you or anyone you know can help, even for a little while, I would be forever grateful. I’m running out of options and time, and this situation is honestly tearing me apart. I just can’t let my fur babies go. They mean everything to me, and I’m trying so hard not to lose them. Please help me keep them safe until I can be with them again :( (the orange one her name is momma kitty. The grey one her name is Iris. Momma kitty is about 11 years old. Iris is about 5 years old.)
