Sorry about all these forwards regarding animals in need of homes but

for the

past 2 days it seems to be all I'm getting. I pass them along because

you

never know who it might reach..and even if one is saved it's worth it.

My elderly parents have always been huge animal lovers. They took in a

pregnant stray cat and the liters started flowing. They now have 20+

cats. My mother is sick and unable to care for them. I have offered to

take them to the animal shelter but she won't hear of it. She knows

they

will be killed and does not want them hearded, scared and alone to

their

deaths. I also offered to take them and leave them out in the woods

near

a stream so they could at least have a chance to make it, but I also

love animals and worry about what might happen to them. One is

afflicted

(I assume because of the inbreeding)and they are not

animials people would want to adopt. They are infested with ear mites

and fleas.

 

I know this is a tragic situation,

and should have been stopped before it ever began, but like they say

hind-sight is 20-20. My mother lives with tremendous guilt and grief

over the situattion, which started out as a way to help a homeless

cat.

I don't need lectures. I need good, humane advice. What would their

best

chance be to live - should they be taken to the animal shelter where

they will most assuredly be killed, or should I let them go in an area

where hopefully they might have some kind of chance. We love these

animals dearly but my mom is unable to take care of them, I have

already

taken 2 of them, but can not find homes for the rest. PLEASE, PLEASE,

what should I do to provide them their best chance possible to

survive.

Does anybody possibly know of any people with farms in Knoxville, TN

who

might be willing to let the animals live on their property. I

DESPERATELY NEED SOME ADVICE.

(I've wrote her and told her NOT to just re-release these cats to fend

for

themselves. I also sent her the names of two cat rescue groups in her

state..but permanent homes or foster homes are really what is needed

here.

Even if you can not help please cross-post. thanks)
