HELP! Sitter needed for my two fur babies.

Hi all...

It seems now that I need help as much as my kitty boys do. I have called all of the local
shelters in Alberta and no one can or will help me. It appears that there are many, many
men who are beating up on their wives, and the shelters are all full. How sad... :-(

The problem is that because I am in an emotionally rather than physically abusive
situation, I don't qualify for their help. I have to accuse my boyfriend of hitting me
when he hasn't, and have him charged. This is the Canadian Legislation on abuse. If I
don't lie to get help, then there is nothing out there for me. In the meantime, he goes
to jail for something he has not done. I couldn't live with myself if I made a false
accusation against him just to help myself.

I have been hit many times in past relationships and will never tolerate that again,
however, I find that the emotional abuse is much worse than anything I ever endured
physically. It leaves scars that will never heal. Bruises and broken bones get better in
time.

So, I guess what I'm saying now is that I too am looking for a room. If anyone in Alberta
has a room for my boys and I, for a short period of time, it would be greatly
appreciated. I have very little money (only enough to feed myself and my boys), but will
be looking for work as soon as I get settled someplace. I will happily pay room and board
and maybe even stay on, if things work out and we get along okay. We can help each other.

Hugs,
Lynn

I'd check with some of the no-kill shelters in your area. They may be able
to help and get the cats fostered until you get back on your feet.

I am in a very bad situation here and need to get out of this house. I
won't bore you
with all the details, but I will be going into a women's shelter for a
short time until I
can find work and get settled again...no cats allowed... :-( What I
need is someone to
take my two boys for that time. I''m hoping that it won't be any longer
than 2 to 4
weeks, if all goes according to plan.

Brat (Siamese) was declawed on all 4 feet by his previous owner. Linus
(Maine Coon) has
not been declawed. Both are neutered and both are well behaved. You can
see them by
clicking on the link to my Yahoo album below.

I am looking for someone in Red Deer, Alberta, as that is where I will be
moving from
here, and I would like to at least be able to visit with them. I will miss
them terribly
and I'm certain that I won't be able to sleep without my bed companions,
but as long as I
know I can get them home again, I will get by.

Is there anyone in Red Deer who would be willing to help me out
here?....Please?

I don't know if this helps but try the following links and contact these
organizations.
http://www.arf.ab.ca/cats/index.shtml
http://www.albertaspca.org/whoweare.htm

I'd also try calling the city hall where you live and ask them for shelters
they can recommend that actually will take in animals from abusive
relationships. Also if you are in a bad relationship why not contact family
and friends for help as well. Good luck.

Contacting family is not an option, unfortunately. They are almost 3000 miles away and I
don't have the funds to get there. They are also not well off and can't afford to help
me. Mortgages, kids....all that. You know how the story goes. As to friends, I have only
lived here a short time and spent all my time working and really haven't met anyone here.

If I can't find some help soon, I will have to give up my babies. Without them I could
hitchhike back to Ontario where my family is. At least there I would have "some" help.
It's just a matter of getting there, but I don't really want to. I would much rather stay
in Alberta.

I have already called everyone in this town and there is absolutely nothing available for
myself or my boys. That's why I have been looking in other, larger towns and cities. I
have been going over and over this dilemma for almost 3 months before asking for help
here. I'm at my wits end.
