We've exhausted options of friends to take Chloe. She's a wonderful
cat, but can't live successfully with other pets; so we can't help
out.

Are there any outfits that deal with this type of situation? The
kennels I've researched are fairly expensive, and not really a
pleasant situation for three months. Are there foster homes? Who
should I contact to get more ideas?

Thanks

Why the hell do people accept living arrangements where they can't
take their pets?
I'm sorry, but I am fed up to my hairballs with people who don't think
about the long-term consequences of having a pet.

Let the stupid bitch figure it our for herself. Or better yet, she
should find a place that she can have the cat with her, where it
should be.

That's absolutely right. Unfortunately, "let her figure it out for herself"
often results in pet abandonment. We have numerous cases every semester
where students have "adopted" a cat or dog, then they just go off and leave
it behind when they leave for the summer or even for spring break. The
"lucky" ones are the ones that are turned over to the animal shelter. Many
are just left to fend for themselves, often with disastrous results. I
simply do not understand the mindset of people who see pets as disposable
objects. I got my first cat when I was in graduate school. From then on, I
would *never consider* any type of move that did not include my cat as part
of my household. My cats are family!
