Sometimes life throws you a curveball, and you have to do your best to dodge it. In this case, a hooman, alongside their family, was kicked out of their home, forcing them to go to a shelter. The thing is, they had 2 adorable cats who they couldn't take with them. The hooman took to r/cats to express their fear and frustration, asking if anyone who be able to help foster the kitties until their life was more stable. 

They got an overwhelmingly positive response, and the internet immediately banded together to help the fluffy family in need. It's so nice to see the good parts of humanity in a story like this… especially when the landlord is so awful. Scroll down to read the full detailed series of events, and check out the comments, and the outcome. For more like this, here is a story about a pet owner who built a $12,000 fence for their cats, hoping it would keep them safe in their backyard. People laughed at the pictures they uploaded and informed them that their fluffy felines would escape anyway.

    These are my babies Pudding(tuxedo) and Loki(white). I'm in a situation with my family where we have to go into a shelter. I don't wanna loose them, I've called around for help with the aspca in NY, the humane society of westchester, but I keep hitting a brick wall. These two are my everything, my heart, my son's and I really don't want to surrender them. My father gave me pudding before he passed away in 2016 and has been my big bear ever since. Loki came to me in my old backyard yelling at the

    Crackerpuppy · 11 hr. ago Post this in the r/ny, r/nyc, r/newyorkcity subs if you haven't already. Also see if there's a Westchester sub. You should also be clear about your intentions. Are you rehoming them? Are they a bonded pair (they need to stay together)? Are you looking for a temporary home/foster situation? Etc. 1.5k Reply Share NamNami25 OP 11 hr. ago edited 5 hr. ago I'm Sorry I wasn't clear my head is just all over the place. Worst case scenario is me surrendering them and I really do

    UPDATE: I have 1 person who may be able to foster and a backup foster if the first falls through!

    Eaj1122 7 hr. ago HEY. I hope this doesn't get lost. PAWS Philadelphia has a temporary foster program for people in your exact situation. I volunteer there and even though it's not in NY, they are the kind of people who would help you out. They will place your kitties in a home until you secure housing. Then you get them back. PLEASE call them 195 Reply Share No-Dog-4711 - 6 hr. ago if you need someone to drive your cats anywhere (maybe from CT to philly) i could help with that! send me a DM. i

    atheist_bunny_slave . 11 hr. ago This is so sad! I don't know your situation, but it angers me to think that often people don't realise just how much a pet can be part of the family. It's like telling people to give up their children and put them up for adoption before they can go into a shelter. If you hadn't lived on the other side of the Atlantic ocean, I would have gladly fostered your cats. I really, really hope someone reads your post and offers help. 518 Reply Share NamNami25 OP. 11 hr. a

    squidsquidsquid . 9 hr. ago I fostered a couple cats a while back for someone in a hard housing situation. I think he had posted on the local listserv/ maybe on the town's subreddit. He paid for food and litter (well, mostly) and I think I had them for 3-4 months. If I could manage that as an idiot 20-something, I'm sure there's people out there now who would be up for helping. Are there local TNR programs? If so, I'd try reaching out to them and seeing if they know any potential fosters for you

    ISSING Вости Dazzling-Pin4996 - 9 hr. ago You can do it. These 2 kitties are so sweet looking. You can tell they are family. Get on that phone and call all the foster organizations you can find. I know you will find a fit. I will search further and send you what I find. I am working...limited time...but I will try. My heart is with you. I am in Chicago, way too far or I would help you. Promise you are not NOT giving up. You will be OK, your kitties will be OK. A big hug. 53 Reply Share ...

    Sequence32.9 hr. ago edited 9 hr. ago this may sound dumb but if there's any cat people around maby you can ask around for them to help you out and just buy them the food for a few months or something like that? I'm sure if you look hard enough, you'll be able to find someone, there's a lot of people out there that love cats and they're relatively easy to take care of for the most part. If you were anywhere close to me I'd try to help but I'm way out in Michigan. Edit: it may also be worth it ma

    thalia676 7 hr. ago Could you get them to New Hampshire? If you can't find a local group to take them, send me a DM. I've fostered for animal shelters for years, and I could take them in temporarily if you can get a transport set up. My foster room's available and ready for kitten season. Sending hugs and hope to you and your kitties 43 Reply Share
