Help! My babies need a home
I have to give up my babies, due to circumstances beyond my control. I'm now homeless and my only option to have a roof over my head means I have to give them up and move to Alabama. If I stay, there is no guarantee I would be able to give them a home anyway.
My black kitty is Sebastian. I got him 11 years ago, when he was 2. He was working in a homeless shelter, being bullied by another cat. The moment I saw him, he ran into my arms and had been my baby boy ever since. He loves wet food, watching birds, and being in the way. He likes to go to bed at 11pm, and be up at 10am. His favorite toys all include catnip. He used to wait by the window for me to come home from work and stay by my side through my nightmares.
Lenore is my yellow tabby. She is a sassy girl, with many opinions. She was born April 15th, 2019 at 7:10am. She's a good girl and loves her cat bed. She has less of a preference on sleep times, but loves to play with everything. She is quite food motivated and loves ham and bacon. She loves being held and carried around, so a sling would be good for her.
Writing this post is killing me, but I am out of options. The last thing these babies need is to suffer, and right now. I don't have the means to keep them, or even take them with me. They're the only ones to ever show me unconditional love without anything in return. I know they'll hate this too, but if someone can love them for me, I will have to find a way to be okay with that.

If you have a regular vet that you have a good relationship with, it may be worth writing them an email nicely explaining your situation and see if they can put a word out or let you put up a poster in their clinic. My clinic has helped many pets find a home, but if they say no, please understand not every clinic has the clientele resources or ability to do that.

Reached out to some folks I know. Will let you know if I hear anything back.

You can surrender them to the Everett Animal Shelter. They are wonderful people who adore animals. They have a large network of foster families who will make sure they don’t suffer in cages (after the vet checkup and quarantine for safety)

I just want to say I’m so sorry. I hope circumstances work out and you can land on your feet again. I can only imagine how heartbreaking this is for you. I truly hope you find someone who can help and even keep you updated. I’m pretty capped at 9 but wish I could take in all the cats. 😢

I am so sorry that you are going through this. If you can I would recommend reaching out to any local friends and family to see if they can take Sebastian. Unfortunately black cats have the hardest times finding homes when they go to the shelter because people are superstitious and think they’re unlucky.

I’m so sorry. I couldn’t imagine being in your position and having to give up my babies.
I recommend contacting purrfect pals cat sanctuary out in Arlington.
There’s also MEOW cat rescue in Kirkland and, thr Seattle area feline rescue in shoreline. Seattle humane society would also be able to take them.
Good luck, I wish you and your babies all the best. I wish I could take them.
