My family is very sad about this, but we must find new homes for our
cats. My wife has developed allergies, that over the lastg three
years have become so severe she is now on asthma medication.

We can't bear the thought of our 'children' being euthanised at a
local shelter. We found a no-kill shelter (The Northeast Tennessee
Animal League), but it is beyond full, and the people who run it have
no suggestions as to where else we might turn.

Our cats are all adults - two males and a female - all spayed and
neutered. They are six, nine and ten years old and free of disease.
The female cat spends most of her time outside and is a first rate
hunter of rodents and birds. The two males lead a more leisurely
life, mostly indoors.

We live in Southwest Virginia, not far from the Tennessee border. If
you can provide a good, loving home or have advice, please let us
know.

Thanks.



I have allergies, I am on asthma medication

So am I. I have had asthma for 20 years now, & my allergies are so bad
that if I stick my face in my cats fur, my eyes stream with water & I
can't stop sneezing!!
However, I would rather suffer the misery of it, than let my family
members go...
I recognise your free will to do as you see fit, but whatever you do,
don "Not" advertise on here because you have no idea who they
are...they are merely pixels, & carry go guarantee that your cat will
be safely homed.

If I were in your frame of mind, I would advise you to advertise
locally in your area first, & also ask family and friends whether they
would consider calling them in. You might be pleasantly surprised with
what some people do when they realise that the alternative is that
they will be bumped off, if, you don't find someone soon..I can assure
you of this, because it has happened to me before & I have taken in up
to a dozen or so in the last 2 years.....

If there are no family or friends, try a free local advertising place.
We have local news papers that will allow you to do this, because the
buyer pays for the paper. If you don;'t get anyone at all & you have
really tried everything else that you can think of, then call the
*nearest no kill shelter that has the space for them* & allow them the
chance to find someone who will have them. You owe them that last
chance. After all, you chose them, not the other way around, so they
are depending on you for that. You can't just kill them, surely?

Lastly, does anyone live near this area who might know of anyone that
can help these people out with information on no kill shelters in this
area?
