HELLO LAURIE, THAT HAS BEEN ON MY MIND FOR A LONG TIME NOW AND I HAVE FOUND A RESCUE IN IOWA, CAN'T REMEMBER THE NAME NOW, BUT CAN DIG OUT THE INFORMATION IF YOU WANT IT. HAVE CHECKED THEM OUT AND THEY SEEM RIGHT FOR MY BABIES WHO ARE SPOILED, HAVE THE RUN OF THE HOUSE. I KNOW I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO FIND ANYONE WILLING TO TAKE ON 7 CATS WHOSE AGES RUN FROM 12 TO 1 YEAR. MY VET BILLS THIS LAST YEAR HAVE BEEN RATHER HIGH, BUT I WILL NOT LET THEM SUFFER BECAUSE OF MONEY. JUST HAVE TO TIGHTEN THE BELT AND EAT LESS. THEY HAVE AN OLD FARMHOUSE FULLY FURNISHED AND THE CATS EACH HAVE THEIR OWN CHAIR, COUCH, BED AND A SCREENED IN PORCH TO OBSERVE THE OUTDOORS. THE NAME IS SOMETHING LIKE CEDAR HOLLOW OR CREEK. SOME OF THE OTHERS KNOW ABOUT THEM ALSO. I THINK THEY WERE BUILDING ANOTHER HOUSE FOR THE CATS AND SOMEONE LIVES ON THE PREMISIS TO TAKE CARE OF THEM. I HAVE ALREADY TOLD MY PEOPLE THEY WILL HAVE TO DRIVE THEM THERE, ABOUT 5 HOURS DRIVE. THEY HAVE AGREED. THEY CANNOT TAKE CARE OF THEM AS MARY HAD A STROKE AT AGE 49 THIS YEAR AND WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO DEAL WITH ALL THE LITTER BOXES AND FOOD BOWLS. I DON'T KNOW ANYONE WHO WOULD BE WILLING TO TAKE THEM ON AND IT IS A BIT MUCH TO DUMP 7 CATS ON SOMEONE. MY ONLY OTHER ALTERNATIVE IS TO LIVE TO 100 AND THEN WE COULD ALL GO AT THE SAME TIME. COURSE, BY THEN I WOULD HAVE TAKEN IN NEW CATS. CANNOT SAY NO TO STRAYS, DOGS OR CATS. ---- MaiMaiPG <maima...@gmail.com> wrote: > Even though I have picked a person (not a family member) and provided > for my guys in my will, I worry too.
