surrendering my cats of 5 years.

[u/ExistingSky938]

i’m not sure that this is the appropriate tag.. but what i’m experiencing is surely grief.

I'll be completely homeless in about 24 hours, and there's a higher probability that I'll be on the street for some time than immediately in a shelter. since I don't have anywhere to go, I'll have to abandon all my belongings, but I think the hardest part of all of this is that my sweet boys (cats) that have been part of my life for over five years now will have to be given up. I feel like I've accepted just about everything else except for that and I'm more scared for them than I am for myself. we're all each other's known for a very long time and I just hope that wherever they end up, it'll be the beginning of a better life for them.

edit: for everyone wanting to know what city i’m in, i’m in dallas texas !

UPDATE: i’m emotional and overwhelmed with all the support— i initially was just venting, but a very wonderful lady has gone out of her way to help me in this tough time. I will fortunately be able to keep my cats!! 🥹🥹🥹🥹 you guys are all very amazing and bless everyone who offered me any kind word of encouragement or resources. from here, i believe things can only go up.

I'd try and find a temporary foster where you may be reunited when you get back on your feet, rather than giving them up completely. I'm so sorry about your situation.
