Says New York State, but no town listed that I can see. These forwards can

HELP! I am desperately seeking homes for my friend's 15 cats. Trudy
is dying of an
aggressive lung disease, and has experienced a total physical health
collapse over the
past 2 months. A couple of days ago, she was moved from her home and is now
under hospice care. She is bedridden and not expected to live more than
2 more
weeks (as of Oct. 4, 2005). The cats are now living alone in Trudy's
house. Paid
caregivers are going there twice daily to care for the cats. But Trudy's
biological
relatives are not supportive of her cat family, and have said that they
cannot afford to
pay caregivers for more than two weeks -- three at most. When Trudy
dies, her house
will be put up for sale, and the cats will be doomed. Everyone who in
the past has
said that they'd be willing to take a cat is now backing out when faced
with that
reality.
Trudy got these cats because she was a foster caregiver for a
non-profit, homeless
cat rescue organization in downstate New York. She brought the cats with
her when
she moved to Rochester a few years ago. Unfortunately, the rescue
organization is
now disbanding, and they've said that they will not take back the cats
either.
Trudy spend her professional life working in a home for orphaned and
abandoned
children. Outside of work, she has devoted her life's time, energy and
money to
helping feral and homeless cats. She is literally hanging onto life only
for the sake of
the cats that are still her responsibility. She is obsessed with the
thought that they
might not have the chance to live out their remaining years. It is
breaking her heart
and exhausting what little energy she has left. I would like to be able
to tell her that
she can go in peace, knowing that her cats will be safe.
These cats have been extremely well cared for. Obviously, they are
accustomed to
being around other cats, but not dogs. They are essentially indoor-only
cats. Trudy
had a portion of her yard fenced on all sides and on top. It is attached
to her house,
so that the cats can wander from inside the house, out through a cat
door and into
the yard shelter if they wish. That's their idea of: "outdoors."
Although some of the
cats are quite old, most of them are healthy, robust and full of life.
If you are a responsible caregiver, won't you consider taking a cat as
an act of mercy?
If you're not interested in a long-term commitment, would you take an
older cat?
Personally, I think they make the best companions. Some of these cats
have only a
few years left, and have known only love and kindness since they were
rescued.
Please contact me if you can help. I am willing to transport cats to
responsible homes
within New York State. Outside of the state, perhaps other arrangements
can be
made. Photos of each cat are available upon request. Here's a
description of each
cat:
- "Valentine": Grey shorthaired. Neutered male. Shy and sweet. Age
unknown; has
lived with Trudy for 6 years. Friendly. Likes to be outside the majority
of the time.
Negative for FIV and FELV.
- "Versace": 9 years old. Pale pastel calico. Shorthaired spayed
female. She is the
half-sister to "Woody" and "Babe". Likes to cuddle with other cats.
Negative for FIV
and FELV
- "Dusty": Age unknown. Neutered male. Siamese cross with short hair.
Has blue
eyes. Very shy but can be sweet. Due for a rabies vaccination on
8/4/07. Negative for
FIV and FELV
- "Tiger Lily": 10 years old. Manx calico spayed female. Very sweet.
Likes to hunt.
She has a wired left back leg from a previous fracture. She has a
paralyzed bowel and
needs oral medication twice a day. Negative for FIV and FE
- Babe Beckerle ("Babe"): 10 years old. Spayed female with
tortoiseshell coloring.
Declawed, shorthaired. Very needy. Gets attached to people and needs
lots of petting.
Likes to sleep under the covers on a bed. Negative for FIV and FELV
- "Mittens": 15 years old. Tiger tabby with white paws. Declawed,
shorthaired, spayed
female. Will happily live on top of your refrigerator – she has a little
