My cats Tigey and Lola. They are my babies. I got Tigey back in 2013 and Lola in 2019. They are my everything. I had to put them in foster care last year when covid hit and when a permanent new home for them didn’t fall through because I lost my job and had to move out of state, not able to take them with me because my mom refused to take them when I moved in with her.
It’s been over a year and their foster mom has been through a lot personally. She can no longer take care of them and has asked me to take them back. But even now, after getting my own place, things are falling again. My mom got me another cat last year to try and compensate for me not being able to bring my fur babies with me from Connecticut (where I’m from) to Ohio (where I moved) I since have gotten another cat to keep the one my mom got me company while I’m at work. I love them both dearly, but I still miss Tigey and Lola as I had them throughout my teenage years when things were dark and life didn’t feel like it was worth living.
Things are repeating and I am moving back with my mom after hours at my job we’re cut in half. She does not want to have three cats (my two and her one) in her home but she wouldn’t let me be homeless either.
So it comes down to my other two, who are in New York with their foster parent. I know what’s best and that’s to give them up for adoption instead of trying to get them here. It’s my only option now. But I’m so heartbroken about it. I failed to get them home because I couldn’t take care of myself financially. And at 23, am going back to my moms.
I feel bad for their foster mom because, though she doesn’t blame me, got stuck with them longer than was originally planned.
I’ve tried for the last year to figure out how to get them here but I don’t drive and could barely afford my rent and bills. It’s making me so depressed knowing that I have to say goodbye for good but I know it’s what’s best for all of us. My mom refuses to drive 8+ hrs with two cats and I don’t blame her. She thought I should’ve given up trying to get them a long time ago but I just couldn’t.
I’ve tried raising money to help with my financial state while saving up but more bills and lack of a social circle made it hard.
I’m doing my best to prepare not being able to see them again, or even say goodbye before their foster parent puts them up for adoption..
But it’s nobody’s fault but my own
