[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP - I'm so sorry you're going through this. It sounds very hard.

It sounds like you are past looking for ways to keep the cat. So I'm not offer advice on how that might work.

In your shoes, I would call some local rescue groups and ask if they can take the cat. King Street Cats is a good one. If you need suggestions for others, I will try to find you some.

Offer to make a large donation. Tell them the truth about your situation. Ask them if they can give your cat a home until she dies.

But if that option isn't open, then euthanasia may be the right choice here. See if a vet will come to the house (some will).

But either way, please don't adopt or buy another pet. Shelters are full of people who bring home puppies and return them when they grow up into dogs, or when they develop bad habits that the people can't tolerate.

I think you've realized that you aren't ready for the commitment of a pet.

Try fostering a dog, if the house feels too lonely without an animal. Or if your kids are desperate for a dog. Fostering saves lives, and also isn't the same commitment as bringing home a pet for the long haul.[/quote]
