Bom, the younger 2 cats are from the same mother, 2 separate litters though...the oldest one is from a shelter, she was the first one I got. All 3 are very close though, all girls. Bio, as lame as it might sound to have to give them up, I really dont have an alternative...my apartment, and the bills associated with it, is too much for me to handle...its ruining my credit, I'm constantly broke, and always stressed over money. I'm doing my very best to find a temporary home for them, but 3 cats is a lot for anyone to take in for me, and the other issue is, if I find a home for them, and the people have kids, they might not want the kids to get attached to the pets, and then have me take them back in a year...that limits my options as well. As for keeping them in one room, I suggested that, and its an issue my mom wont compromise on. She's always hated cats, and she's severely allergic, and it is HER house, so unfortunately I dont have much room to argue. The basement area that I'll be living in doubles as my sister's play area, and my mom is down there alot...so it just wouldnt work out. On top of being very allerigc, she hates cats, always has. this is them...

Gizmo and Baby, laying in clean laundry, as they seem to love to do. I hope it doesn't come to it, but if giving them to a no kill shelter to find good homes, in order to keep my finances manageable, is the only alternative, then I guess I hope that they wind up with people who love them as much as I do.

Suffer lives with his family, and although they're fine with me being here all the time, it wouldn't work out for me to literally move in. He's got a ton of stuff, and there's really no room for any of mine. Also, his family already has a cat, and I don't think they're be ok with adding 3 to the menagerie. We tossed around the idea of getting an apartment, but he lives for free right now, and I can live for free too, so it would be really counterproductive to us saving money quickly for us to get a place around here. Rent in the Boston area is ridiculously high, making it pretty impossible.

you two should both throw shit away and invest in public storage.
consider it spiritual cleansing. do you really need all that crap?
...and explain the situation to his family surely, they would understand.

thanks for trying hun 
nightowl: want 3 more? heh
and bio: that's just not on the table. sure we could both throw shit out, sure I could store stuff in the meantime, and yes, his family is exceedingly cool, but they would not be pleased about the situation, and I dont feel it would be respectful to them to ask that of them.

Yeah, you'll want to be cool with them in case they become a permanant feature in your life down the road. (don't know your situation, just saying)
I don't know, sorry this is such a rough decision to make. If I didn't already have 3 kitties and another coming in tomorrow with my live-in friend, then I'd offer to take them. But right now, my roost is full to bursting.
good luck, they look like super-sweet kitties!

It seems as if you have already made up your mind, but I personally would avoid moving back in with your parents. Absence is, most likely, the reason that your relationship with them has improved so much in the last few years. Also, imo, you and your boyfriend could move in together and share the burden of bills,rent,etc. and begin mentally preparing yourselves for moving out west. It may take a little bit longer than a year to save up money, but from my experience saving up money is damn difficult to do anyways... and moving in with your parents doesn't necessarily make that happen either. Granted its cheaper, but you'll have to be living with your parents again... and that is never fun, especially after you have become used to living on your on. And about the cat thing, if you follow my advice you won't have to get rid of em. And, I hate to think negatively, but something shitty could happen and in 6 months you won't be moving out west, you will have given up 3 of the loves of your life, and you'll be tired of living with the rents. Just my .02, and good luck with whatever you decide to do.

33L, I've thought about everything you said at length, and you're dead on about a lot of it, theres definitely the possibility that I could move back in with them, and me and my mom will fight, because I know not living under one roof is why we get along so well now. But 2 things working in our favor are I'll be living downstairs, in the basement, so we wont constantly be in eachothers faces, and also I'm never home, and shes well aware that thats how its going to be, I might pop in for clothes or food, or to shower, but thats about it, and shes fine with that. Also, we had a pretty good conversation about how we've both grown as people, and now that we understand eachother better, I think we'll be fine. Also, even if my boyfriend and I dont decide to move to AZ and buy a house, or even if we break up all togetherm which i very much doubt, this is still the right move for me to make for myself...I need to start saving money and thinking about my future, and whether that future be with my boyfriend, or by myself, I need to save some money and get my shit back in order.
Yes, there are shroomerites in MA, and if any of them want 3 cats, or even 1 or 2, for a year, they should let me know

So, just in case anyone cares, I wanted to give you the conclusion to the story. My phone rang today, and its a physician that my mom works with. He has 3 cats, a dog, and a rabbit. Lots of animals After seeing pictures that I emailed his wife of my cats, he has decided to take ALL THREE!!! I am so fucking happy...I dont have to split them up, they'll be in an awesome home, with lots of animals, and kids, and get a ton of attention. I was on the phone with my boyfriend, freaking out about how I only had until Saturday, that's when I'm moving out....and then he beeped in and gave the the awesome news. As much as I hate to part with them, this worked out as well as it possibly could have. I can rest much easier now knowing that my "kids" aren't going to be sleeping in some shelter.

Cats are just bigger versions of rats, who eat the littler type!!!
Fuck, your life is falling apart because of this? Damn woman, I will come over there myself and choke your cats for you, and then you can move into your mom's house. Then, if you can't live there cause you don't get along with her, just cut out your tongue so you can't talk back to your mom. You're lucky as fuck to have the option of living with your mom and saving money.
Deal, be happy. I want you to. Get going
