Hi,
For many years I have opened my door to strays & unwanted pets. So, over these years, my furry family grew and grew and I love them all to pieces. It has always pained me and upset me to read posts about people giving up their pets because of allergies/asthma since I too suffer from both and still never once thought of giving up my beloved furballs. This is what makes what I am about to do that much more difficult, devastating and just plain heartbreaking for me.
I recently was told that I have a serious health issue which is basically twisting my arm and forcing me to part with some of my furbabies. It is not something I want to do in any way, shape or form but, at this point, I will be of no use to any of them if I am not in better health.
So, to try to ease the emotional stress of this process, I am seeking homes to start, for 5 of my kitties. Since I have had most of my babies from kittenhood, at this point, the 3 boys are considered seniors aged 9 & 10yrs. old (the 10yr old boys are 2 brothers who must stay together) and the 2 girls are about 4 & 6yrs. of age.
Thankfully, my birds already have found homes but, I do have 2 bunnies (bonded) who are still trying to find a new home.
My hope is that by reducing my clan that my health will be able to handle those who remain. For those who wonder how I chose who to let go of, it was not easy but, I based it on their individual needs (I have many who are either special needs or senior). This is what makes it so difficult for me as it is a rare find to come across someone willing to open their home to a very special animal in need.
The 3 boys would do well together and ideally for the 3rd wheel, it would be great to have him stay with his buddies; However, he would likely do well on his own too (since he does have a "bullying" tendency but, does get along with the 2 brothers). Further details and pics can be provided to those interested in considering either the 2 brothers or their buddy or in my ideal world, all 3 together.
The 2 girls can go to separate homes and really should go to separate homes as they like to antagonize each other, lol ... The younger female is okay with other cats and enjoys the company of cat-friendly dogs too. The older female would likely prefer the company of a very easy going/laid back dog than a cat but, should do okay with a kitty who also prefers to keep to themselves and just share space without needing to be too snuggly/cuddly with her. She may also appreciate just being the only pet and spoiled rotten. Again, I can go into further detail about the girls and their quirks (just like the boys) to those who are interested in opening their home to them. Pictures will also be provided.
My bunnies are bonded and very cute together. They are friendly and just sweet little creatures. Further details and pics can be provided to those interested in opening their home.
I cannot stress enough how difficult this is for me. While I would like to procrastinate as long as possible, it is not helping me or them. They are picking up on my upset and that's not fair to any of us. Needless to say, if you are not willing to allow me to come to your home to see where my babies are going to live and meet with your family or provide me with updates/photos, then it is best if you reply to someone else's post. I will always be available for any questions/concerns that their new family might have. Should you decide that they are not the right fit or you no longer want them for any reason, I will take them back. I would sooner suffer than see them in a shelter or not know where they are and be able to know how they are doing.
I want the best for my babies and while I have no choice but to part with them, I won't do it without making sure they go to the best homes that I can find for them. Ideally, I would like to find families who believe in a more holistic approach to animal care and even cook or feed a raw diet to their pets. This is how they have been cared for over the past number of years.
I am also open to considering those willing to foster them until a home can be found for them (though this breaks my heart that much more as it means double the stress and adjustment period) ...

Thank you for taking the time to read my post and put up with the long, long script. I am hoping that they will be able to settle into their new homes by the end of January or beginning of February. I know that it seems odd to not indicate sooner but, I can explain my reasoning for this to those interested in helping us out.
Thanks again. Any criticism will be ignored as I know the length that I will go to for my babies and it is because of this length that I find myself in this position. Unfortunately.
