  According to the workers and volunteers at Anne Arundel County Animal Care & Control, Inc., the emotional woman was sobbing as she gave up her fur-babies to be put-up for adoption. The shelter said they will do all they can for these gorgeous siblings who have been uprooted from the life they've always known.

  The siblings, named Zipper and Missy, had been by their owner's side for years, living a loved and comfy life. But now that all changed. The owner's family who didn't want the cats apparently also attempted their "solution" which was to euthanize the perfectly healthy cats -- thankfully, the veterinarian absolutely refused!

  The note this woman wrote shows just how much she loved her cats, and just how difficult this decision weighed on her heart. The note specified details on the cat's meals, the absolute must-knows, requests, and special treats. And to make it all that more heart-wrenching of a situation, was the sobbing that accompanied the note. 

  • Keep together
  • Never been in water
  • No kids
  • No outside (never been out)
  • Like to look out window
  • Missy skittish, afraid of loud noises

  • Zipper only eats Fancy Feast fish and shrimp.
  • [He] gets 1/2 slice of American cheese–crumbled into balls as an A.M. or afternoon snack.

  According to the shelter, the poor and confused kitties aren't adjusting well to their new life in the shelter, 

  "They are housed together in a larger-than-usual cage in the main cat room. We wish we could tell you that they were quickly adjusting, but so far they seem terrified, especially shyer and tinier Missy."
