So it means more for you to dump the cats because she has allergies? Did you
even stand up and say I am keeping the cats? You can't expect a lot of
people here to support the dumping of cats. In a way you are dumping them
whether it be at a shelter or with someone else. I don't think it is fair to
the cats. I think you need to sit down with your girlfriend and inform her
that an allergist is needed here and that you keep the cats. If you truly
care for the cats as much as you say you do then you'd keep them and work
through what is only a temporary discomfort. If your girlfriend objects to
staying with you then I am sure you will know where her priorities are. Of
course by your first post here you say you would never subject her to having
the cats stay so I can only guess you made the choice to take the easy way
out of things. Cats are not disposable or to be dumped at a human's
convenience. They are living, breathing creatures who deserved to be cared
and loved for the rest of their lives. That is a responsibility a human must
commit too. If you weren't ready to do that, then why did you adopt them in
the first place?

I think if it meant that much to me she would honestly suffer it and
let me keep them. I could never subject her to that. She is miserable
when she is around them, or their fur. It's not fair.

I really don't understand some of the responses I've received. As I
understand it, the terms dumping and abandoning refer to dropping off
your pet in a remote area and taking off.

I never proposed to do that, nor will I. They are my responsibility
and I will see that they are taken care oft, even if I have to have
them euthanized. ( I can't imagine it would ever come to that)

I appreciate those that have offered advice. To the rest of you, I
didn't come here to have my character judged. If you don't have
anything useful to tell me, why post your ridiculous anger?
