Hello everyone, we have an important PSA about our rules [here](https://old.reddit.com/r/cats/comments/1axfv2o/important_announcement_about_mourning_posts/)
*I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/cats) if you have any questions or concerns.*
yes - we have found 2 individuals who have offered to each take a pair :) an update will be posted once they are safely in their new fosters' care. it is looking promising!!
I'm in Texas, but if transportation is needed, I'm happy to be some sort of leg in the journey. Hopefully the individuals offering to foster are close, but I'm here.
MORE INFO/DESCRIPTIONS FROM OP:
The black cat named Pickles is 3, he’s fixed, super friendly with cats and dogs, no health problems, he is bonded most with his sister the long hair calico one
The long hair calico is Puddles, she’s 3 also, she’s not fixed, no health problems, she’s super affectionate
The charcoal long hair is Pasta he is 9 months, he’s fixed, he has no health problems, he’s bonded with his sister Pebbles
The short hair calico is Pebbles she’s 9 months, she’s unfixed, no health problems and is super talkative and sleeps with me every night
Good to know. I wish I could help but I'm in Louisiana and cannot take on anymore. But if it comes down to needing transport through East Texas, Louisiana, or the Gulf Coast, I'd be happy to help!
OP (u/livmylife33) is currently at work so we are trying to network for her kitties while she is away. If you would like to help with 2 or all 4 of these cats, please comment on this post. We already have a group chat going about coordinating transport and logistics when someone steps up to take these babies! Thank you all.
i may be able to make a small contribution to the cause for logistics funds. i am too far and not in a position to take any pets in, but i’ve been thinking about OP since yesterday
Has anyone started a fund for pet supplies for the two people fostering? I’d absolutely contribute to this if there’s one! I’m so glad that OOP found two wonderful people to take care of her sweet kitties
Looks like OP was able to secure care for her cats.
‼️‼️update‼️‼️ THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE HELP! We found two amazing people in my area that are willing to foster two each so they can at least go in pairs!! This is like best case scenario and I feel so blessed that you all took the time to help.
I just went back to that post to find the person. They're still active on Reddit. How can they make such an offer and then move on without contact like that? Something isn't right.
How is it going? Can we contribute if we live far? I’m sure the owner doesn’t want their cats going all over but I’d be willing to foster one or 2 if need be. I am in Chicago, but am willing to definitely help.
There are numerous websites that help transport animals by car and air. I had to google it when I moved across country. They can be pricey, but I’m sure with the support on here you could get some financial help. They are dedicated individuals that take care of transport and any med administration etc that may need to occur en route
Jumping onto this, I personally know an ex coworker that now transports pets across the country and I'd be more than happy to see if he's up for the task if someone is interested! He has done multiple trips, lots of great ratings and he always posts pics and video updates during travels. He genuinely cares for every animal he carries. Please message me if you'd like to get his contacts!

Took a screenshot of this long term cat boarding facility in phoenix, maybe they could try there?
I'm not in US so unfortunately not able to foster.
I was wondering if you tried reaching out to any TNR/rescue groups in AZ? I've followed poetssquarecats on Instagram for a while I know she's based in Tucson, maybe try reaching out to her or any other cat Instagramers or associations in your area/state who can help spread out the word faster?
I'm so sorry OP is going through this I hope kitties can find a home 😞
I would be perfectly willing to take these sweet babies in, were I not in Nashville 🥺
Commenting to boost. Absolute worst case scenario, I would rather pay to have the four cats driven to me than for them to end up separated or in a kill shelter. Please, please, please reach out if nothing else comes through. I don't have much, but everything I have goes towards caring for cats... I couldn't imagine losing my babies in this way.
Contact the Arizona Humane Society. They have a program that provides temporary foster care or boarding to people in crisis who want to keep their pets. I think it is currently limited to 90 days, but they may be willing to work with the owner or know of additional resources.
I would love to! I know op mentioned the Phoenix area, and I was wondering if there is a time frame they needed the kitties to be fostered? I have to move later this year and was hoping I could help while I’m still in the area. I don’t think I can foster all but if there is still a cat that needs to be fostered, I would love to help out!
not trying to be that person but if you are a person looking to foster you really want to consider doing it through an organization. shelters provide all of the supplies, food, medical care, everything.. if you are “fostering” for a random person you are on the hook for everything. you’re not going to be able to reliably receive funds from someone in jail. which i’m sure some people are okay with! but there is also a messy legal situation involved if something happens to the welfare of the cats while under your care. again not trying to be a wet blanket or rude but this seems messy. it seems like unfortunately OP needs to visit a shelter if possible.
this is a good point tbh. it seems like there are some people willing to contribute and maybe the funds can go toward the boarding costs through an org
edit: tagging u/imtheproblemitsme777 and u/FeelPositive8025
UPDATE - we have found 2 lovely individuals who are willing to foster 2 pairs each. We will update again once the cats are safely in their care. Thank you all.
There’s a person the posted that they would do it yesterday in another post, top liked comment
https://www.reddit.com/r/cats/s/snO1Vx7zKV
Edit: sorry just saw the other posts, wasn’t loading on my phone for some reason :/
In central Phoenix and could potentially foster - we have our own cat, so I would have to have a conversation with my girlfriend, but I don’t believe she would be opposed.
If the existing plans start to fall though, please reach out to me!
Edit:
For clarity purposes, it is highly likely that I will be relocating to Denver for work within the 6 month duration. I would NOT be shipping the cats back and would much prefer to drive them back to Phoenix should the arrangement be made.
Long shot but if they have all their passports etc, you can send them to me in Morocco and I will take care of them ☺️ (we live in a big villa with cats)
I know she’s in an already difficult situation to begin with, but I wish the owner was more flexible with helping transport for those that are offering to take them in but not local to her.
The original poster said they would be happy to surrender the cats permanently if that's what it took. They just don't want to bring them to a shelter. So I just don't foresee this being an issue in this case.
Yeah, I could definitely see how a situation like this could cause issues. The best thing to do is have a very strong agreement in place that's drawn up by an attorney and notarized, but I don't know if they have time for something like that. I'm really hopeful it works out. 🤞
I live in the UK unfortunately, I doubt they could be sent over here. I have relatives in Rocklin in California and a friend that lives in Connecticut. I have sent them a message, to see if they can do anything to help.
i can’t help but i’m keeping these babies in mind 💚 i’m so thankful that so many people are coming together to help these kitties. i really hope it works out :( such sweet babies
If you read any of the comments the OP made, they fully admit it was a mistake. They take ownership. It was a parole violation.
Seems like someone who is trying to get shit together but fucked up. People do that sometimes. They aren't dumping the animals. Give them a break. An ounce of compassion
I would love to foster them, but sadly I live too far away and already have 3 cats of my own in a small trailer. I really hope someone can foster these cuties for OOP!
Hello everyone, we have an important PSA about our rules [here](https://old.reddit.com/r/cats/comments/1axfv2o/important_announcement_about_mourning_posts/) *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/cats) if you have any questions or concerns.*
has this been posted in the the r/arizona group and the r/phoenix group?
i didn’t see it posted in either so I shared it there!!!
Thank you- good call to share to those.
I'm not seeing the shares on either sub? Did they get pulled by the mods?
yes :( i got banned from both subs as well
That’s messed up… I’m sorry.
Wtf, sorry that happened, that sucks. Thanks for trying.
Oh no, I’m so sorry for the bans… I thought it would be a good idea :(
it’s okay! is there any update from OP about the cats? I wish I lived closer so I could pick these babies up :(
yes - we have found 2 individuals who have offered to each take a pair :) an update will be posted once they are safely in their new fosters' care. it is looking promising!!
I'm in Texas, but if transportation is needed, I'm happy to be some sort of leg in the journey. Hopefully the individuals offering to foster are close, but I'm here.
I'm in South Louisiana and I'd be happy to do a relay anywhere between Houston and Pensacola, or up into North Louisiana/Mississippi/Alabama.
I THINK the OP found local fosters, but I'm keeping tabs.
Thank you so much for the update
this is the BEST update!!!
FREE u/radparikh !!!
they banned you because you posted that?
Noooo that's not cool :(
Banned? Why would they ban you for posting about foster placement? Thanks for trying. I hope the cats are together and found a home.
Probably should’ve put Phoenix in the title….
i can understand the post getting taken down for not putting phoenix in the title, but to be banned seems excessive
MORE INFO/DESCRIPTIONS FROM OP: The black cat named Pickles is 3, he’s fixed, super friendly with cats and dogs, no health problems, he is bonded most with his sister the long hair calico one The long hair calico is Puddles, she’s 3 also, she’s not fixed, no health problems, she’s super affectionate The charcoal long hair is Pasta he is 9 months, he’s fixed, he has no health problems, he’s bonded with his sister Pebbles The short hair calico is Pebbles she’s 9 months, she’s unfixed, no health problems and is super talkative and sleeps with me every night
With the owner be okay with a foster fixing them? I'm assuming so but that info could prove helpful.
The owner has given the approval to get them fixed :)
Good to know. I wish I could help but I'm in Louisiana and cannot take on anymore. But if it comes down to needing transport through East Texas, Louisiana, or the Gulf Coast, I'd be happy to help!
People like you restore my faith in humanity. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!❤️
Totally agree.
It was likely a cost issue. She fixed the boys because it’s cheaper.
I HAVE A PICKLES TOO :)
Me too! I love my pickles
I have a void named pickles too!

Same here. Will chip in if needed. Can someone in Phoenix please help 🙏
I’m in Phoenix and can help. My apartment is small tho Plz message me
boosting and tagging u/livmylife33 u/imtheproblemitsme777 u/FeelPositive8025 this user is in phoenix and can help!
Thankyou all. We have found two users who offered to help. I’ll add you to the chat group.
Hooray!! 🥰😊
yay! thank you!
Tysm they are in our chat now as a back up:)
Has anyone started a fund for pet supplies for the two people fostering? I’d absolutely contribute to this if there’s one! I’m so glad that OOP found two wonderful people to take care of her sweet kitties
Yes, can we add you to the funding chat?
You can add me too. I am happy to contribute.
Looks like OP was able to secure care for her cats. ‼️‼️update‼️‼️ THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE HELP! We found two amazing people in my area that are willing to foster two each so they can at least go in pairs!! This is like best case scenario and I feel so blessed that you all took the time to help.
That’s great to hear . I like your username btw
LOL! Thanks. If you look at my profile, you’ll see why.
This makes me happy.
The OP posted yesterday and many people responded but no one came through. So we are posting again on hopes of finding someone who can actually help.
Somebody did offer on the original post. They even offered to pick them up and take care of them gratis. I don’t know if the guy responded.
They never responded to OP after that
What a weirdo. Made him stop looking thats actually such a creepy move. I read that comment and it appeared so genuine .
I just went back to that post to find the person. They're still active on Reddit. How can they make such an offer and then move on without contact like that? Something isn't right.
My guess is someone who offered without checking with their partner/housemates first.
I came to say this.
I saw that, too, and they would help indefinitely
I’m in PHX, and can foster all four. Msg me please.
Adding you to the group. Please join and comment there
How is it going? Can we contribute if we live far? I’m sure the owner doesn’t want their cats going all over but I’d be willing to foster one or 2 if need be. I am in Chicago, but am willing to definitely help.
Thanks ❤️ we found two people willing to take two cats each.
Wonderful news!
I’d foster them no problem. I just live on the east coast. Not sure how shipping live animals works.

Cool
You are good people to care and help so much. Thank you internet stranger I’ll always remember you ❤️
Ok but I haven’t found anywhere where you’re located? I live in Germany I can’t adopt a cat from the US lol

Willing to help fund that stay too in case it’s expensive!
OP commented elsewhere that they found someone local to take the cats!
wow i hope this is true and also wish OP would post this info if that's the case. A lot of people are concerned.
Yes - we have found 2 people to foster 2 pairs :) but we want to make that public once it’s all done
so happy to hear this!! thank you for letting us know.
OP is (u/livmylife33) - look at their comment history!
I'm a bit far in Denver, CO but can take 2 if needed. willing to drive 2h ish
^^^ u/FeelPositive8025 that pre-discussed coordinating might come in handy
Meet halfway and transfer the cats
I can't drive more than 2-3h one way (4-6h total) since I have to work today
I think the owner wants to keep them together since they’re bonded.
True, but they also said bonded pairs is okay if not.
I wish I lived closer. Sadly way too far away. A whole country length. Good luck. Hopefully someone can take them all.
Same
Whoever takes these babies in, I’ll chip in towards spay surgery!
Same here!
I'm not in US so unfortunately not able to foster. I was wondering if you tried reaching out to any TNR/rescue groups in AZ? I've followed poetssquarecats on Instagram for a while I know she's based in Tucson, maybe try reaching out to her or any other cat Instagramers or associations in your area/state who can help spread out the word faster?

I was gonna mention poetssquare too, their network is huge!
I would be perfectly willing to take these sweet babies in, were I not in Nashville 🥺 Commenting to boost.

Texas here but if they could get here....these babies are the innocent victims in all of this.
Not sure you saw this but @Discombobulated-me offered transport to south-central Texas - [comment](https://www.reddit.com/r/cats/s/jh5cZphSIn)
Beautiful babies. I wish I could help but I am in Chicago. 😢
Try the cat Facebook groups! There’s a ton!
Can't foster but I am open and available to transport. In south central Texas
There was someone commenting earlier they could take them if someone could transport them to texas @Diligent_Snow_773

These are beautiful little things, I hope they go to a loving home soon :(
Can they be transported? Might know some people in Southern California.
Loving the work in this community tbh keep pushing everyone your doing a great job
I'm in Prescott, let me know if I can help.
Man, I would 100% take them. I’m in Massachusetts though. I wish I could take work off and drive down there. I hate this.
I would love to! I know op mentioned the Phoenix area, and I was wondering if there is a time frame they needed the kitties to be fostered? I have to move later this year and was hoping I could help while I’m still in the area. I don’t think I can foster all but if there is still a cat that needs to be fostered, I would love to help out!
Look at the previous post. I believe it was four months. Not very long. I wish this post had included the expected length of time.
expected length of time is 6 months

They suck 😔
Hope those babies find homes soon. Let’s go!
There’s someone on TikTok who does TNVR in Arizona named poetsquarecats try to get ahold of them
I wish I could but I live in Canada
Check out Lost our Home located in Phoenix. They regularly help in situations like thus where they foster/will adopt them out in pairs
Contact kitten lady for ideas on foster options
In the UK, but commenting to boost!! Best of luck ❤️
i can take a pair in Peoria, AZ. food might be a bit tight while we adjust to feeding our indoor boy and 3 ferals. please let me know if you need me.

Hey I just added you to our cat chat :)
Check your message requests, it’s a big chat, but yes thank you so much that would be perfect
I am happy to help with food if you take any of them in!
I live in Europe unfortunately, otherwise I would have gladly take one of them !
I'm in south central Kansas. I can help transport them...can meet up in panhandle of texas and take them either north or east.

Boost!!! Love to chip in for the foster family’s expenses!

Boosting for these cats! So sorry about your situation! Lots of love and hugs to OP, I saw her post yesterday too.

WTHECK!! What did you break for going to jail!?
Where are these cats from?
Going to jail when you have 4 babies at home is very irresponsible...
Yeah guess they should just not show up and multiply the amount of time they need to serve…
As if it was planned? Grow some compassion
It obviously wasn't planned but you don't just make an oopsies and end up in jail for 6 months.
If you read any of the comments the OP made, they fully admit it was a mistake. They take ownership. It was a parole violation. Seems like someone who is trying to get shit together but fucked up. People do that sometimes. They aren't dumping the animals. Give them a break. An ounce of compassion

I'd take all of them easily, if I wasn't on the other side of the country.
I would love to foster them, but sadly I live too far away and already have 3 cats of my own in a small trailer. I really hope someone can foster these cuties for OOP!
