Seeking Hospice/Foster Care For Aging Cat
HELP! I have called every source (spca/animal welfare groups/pet
shops) imaginable trying to find a home for my 18 year old cat Willi. We are moving into a house that just is not set up for his regular incontenance near the scratch box and hair balls. The ole boy is still in pretty good shape considering his hyperthyroid condition (controlled by a pill a day) and upset stomach (Pepcid twice a day). He loves to eat, drink and sleep. And he loves to sleep on top of me. I will pay for his food and vet bills. I just want a good home for his last year(s). We live in Richmond, VA. Anyone have any suggestions?

We are moving into a house that just is not set up for his regular
incontenance near the scratch box and hair balls There are alternatives. You could get him a big cage with his litter box, food, water, bed in there You could then take him out to hangout and nap say an hour after each meal so he won't pee in the house. You could also give him hairball medication. I doubt you'll find anyone who will take care of your old cat for you. Your cat would also be happiest with you. You owe it to your cat to make his last days happy.

Yes, either a large crate of a room of his own with litter box, water, bed,
and his food. Please don't abandon him now. Gail "Mary" wrote in message ...
