Re: [Felvtalk] FeLV cat in Charleston - owner is homeless

I will be happy to help (although humans aren't usually my thing <g>).

My concern is how the family will cope in the future. Can they afford the $350 a month, plus utilities, food and pet food? Would this be "rented" to them, or lent, or rent with option? I'm not trying to be a wet blanket, but even tho I'm also in SC, I'm to far to be of actual on-site use.

I just want to try to make this a re-homing, not just a foster situation. Told you people aren't my forte...

Hi Katherine

 

I have not heard from Sharon, but I have heard back from my former client in South Carolina, who has done a lot of research for me (bless her soul) and come up with a number of options. The best one she presented to me was a 2 bedroom used mobile home in Summerville for about $7,000 U.S. This is obviously quite inexpensive, and she says it probably needs new carpeting and a new air conditioning system, but probably for about $10,000 to $12,000 U.S., with furniture, it is a good option. There is also a monthly fee for the lot, which is usually around $350 a month but it is already in a trailer park and wouldn’t have to be moved.

 

This is a totally do-able target number for me. If I can hear from her regarding whether she is in favour of this option, I can get to work to get that mobile home for her.

 

I hate to rely upon you to be the go-between, and if you are unable to do that, I will have to venture onto Facebook, regardless of my concerns. Let me know.

I hear you. I will private message her. I did find a GoFundMe page she started -- without much luck it seems.

I don’t go on Facebook very often. I will try to get to it but I am not very comfortable with it – they keep way too much of your personal information and track everything about you. Can you privately message her and provide her with my email address? I don’t want it posted publicly since obviously, every single person in the world with a difficult situation will be contacting me and I harbour enough guilt in my soul as it is.

 

Is there someone else in South Carolina, close to her, with whom I can collaborate to perhaps find a used trailer she can live in with the animals and her son? I would be willing to spearhead some fundraising.

Hi Amani,

 

Thanks for your message. I don't have an email or phone number for Sharon Follin Jowers, but if you are on Facebook, you can see the full conversation by joining the "Owners of FeLV+/FIV+ cats" group. It's a private group, so you need to join the group to see it.

 

Once you are a member this link will take you to it: https://www.facebook.com/groups/26073442228/permalink/10154196067502229/.

I’m up in Canada so I can’t do much about finding a new home for the animals. However, I would like to see if we might be able to do something more permanent for a person with a good heart who keeps animals like this. Can you put me in touch with her? Can you get more details?

She lives in a motel room with five cats, a dog and I think her adult son too. I think efforts have been made to raise money for a rent deposit in the past for her but I am unclear on the history. She just posted a request for help with rehoming her animal(s).

The FeLV cat has some blood in his stool but sounds healthy and playful otherwise.

Any Charleston resources or rescues that I could pass along?

Is it too late to help the owner keep her house?
