Homes for 3 cats

[Lady D]

If anyone happens to live around the Clarksville, TN area. My son is moving back here to Memphis in 2 weeks. He was going to bring the oldest cat with him named Caesar. Caesar is almost 9 and is a very laid back cat. He has been around my son for 7 years. Now he finds out the deposit where he is going to be living here is $650 for a pet. He is moving in with a friend and his grandmother who already have two dogs they had to pay $1100 for. My son has no option but to take Caesar and two other cats, both males, all 3 fixed to a shelter in Clarksville called Cats R Us. That is if he can get them in there, this is a no kill facility just for cats. But I explained to him that he needed to contact them and see if they could take them. This is crushing him not getting to bring Caesar with him. And it is bothering me. This cat has known no other than him and Kristina and now he will never see any of them again. I feel like this cat is being abandoned. If anyone would want any of the three of them you can pm me and I can let him know. She is taking the 3 females and their dog Barney and moving to her dad's. So if anyone wants any of the three in these pictures let me know. They have all been together for at least a year or two where these youngers ones are concerned. Please let me know if anyone would be interested in giving them a good home. These cats have had their shots and are fixed and have never ventured out of the house. They are strictly inside cats. Any help with finding these cats home would be great.

Aww, those are so cute. I hope you can find a home or get them in the shelter.

I hope so also. The young ones are about a year old now and the bigger cat with the socks and the solid white belly will be 9. He is the one I am most concerned about. I don't know what they will think when taken to that shelter and given up. They have been used to each other and the old cat Caesar has been around my son for 7 years. He was going to bring him with him but now he cannot due to what it will cost to keep him there. And even if he gets them in a shelter that is the no kill shelter no one will adopt the nearly 9 year old cat. Older cats and dogs are always the ones that never find homes. I don't understand why they would have to pay another pet deposit when they have already paid $1100 for a pit bull and a pug. The cat would do less damage than the dogs I would think. He is litter box trained and declawed I am sure. So sad. I cannot let this bother me, but my son is the reason Caesar wasn't gone along time ago.

Lady D, since you don't have any animals now, would it be possible for you to take them? At least the oldest one. How sad that they have to go to a Shelter after being with one person their whole life. I hate to see this happen to animals when a family breaks up. They are the ones that suffer the consequences, and it is just sad. I hope they can find homes for them instead of a shelter. Poor cats. I hope everything works out.

His wife is taking the 3 females and the dog with her and going back to live at her stepdad's with him and her younger sister but my son has to do something with the other three. My husband hates cats and would not let a cat in our home. I hate it more so for the older one, the two younger males are brothers and will be easier to find homes for. I wish I could make him an office kitty her at my work. But the complex is not allowing any cats now here at my work since new management took over but this man across the parking lot has several cats that he had way before they made that rule. I wish I could sneak him in here.

Awww, I hope he finds a way to keep Caesar at least, or perhaps you can. The other two will likely adapt well to the shelter and would have a good shot at adoption.

I wish there was a way I could take him, as my family is minus one older cat BUT for Caesar to adapt to new people AND a Siamese AND three dogs might be worse than the shelter. (Plus, I am under orders for no new pets... )

Good luck...

He can't keep him. He has posted a notice up at his work on their bulletin board and is going to post one in the laundry room at the apartment complex he is in now. I think he would adapt fine to new people and probably would be tolerant of another cat but 3 dogs I don't know. He was tolerant of the one dog though. He is not giving up on finding homes for them. He keeps asking people where he works to let him know of anyone that might like some cats, the women there said they might know someone.

His wife works for the state in Nashville. Out of all the people that works in the area she works in, I am sure she could find homes for them with someone she works with. I am sure someone there might want a cat.

Good luck!

Good luck!

My son is running out of time. The no kill facility there in Clarksville, TN is overcrowded and cannot take anymore. He finally got them by phone. No one both of them have asked has even shown any interest in any of the three. He is not getting any calls from notices he has put up. And I have even emailed 3 pet facilities here, I've heard back from one who says they have no room, and expect him to keep the cats.

If there is anyone in the Nashville area on this board that is interested possibly in providing homes for any of them, Clarksville is not far from there. I can give them my son's number for them to call him. He is desperate and so am I. Thanks everyone.

Good luck!

Here are current pictures of the three cats that need homes and are free to good homes. I am putting a week long ad in the Leaf Chronicle where my son is still living and have printed off color pictures this morning of these three pictures and have sent them to him so he can put these pictures up where he has ads up. I do not know what he is going to do with them after next Thursday since he and I together have heard from 3 places, one has a kennel open but already has over 100 cats and that is the Memphis Humane Society, more or less they would have to find homes for some of the existing cats before they could take them and that would be a couple of months possibly they stated. The first picture is of the 8 year old cat Caesar, the second is of Rory, and the third is Tristen, both are brothers and are 2 years old. Sure wish these cats were in Sowal, they would finds home there. I am still waiting to hear from two places here that are our last hope. Wish there were some people on here in the area where my son still is between Nashville and Clarksville that would like to provide homes for these three. If no homes are found they will have to be taken to the pound I'm afraid and will be put down for certain, and he says he is not doing that, but I don't see him having a choice. This saddens me so much.
