I’m writing this with tears in my eyes, hoping someone with a kind heart might be able to help me and my little girl, Katie.
Katie is my 3-year-old cat and my emotional support companion. Due to unexpected financial hardship, my family and I had to move into a shelter. I’ve submitted all the paperwork to have Katie reunited with me, and my social worker says approval could take anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks, possibly less.
I am NOT giving Katie away. I just need someone to love and protect her until she can come home to me.
Katie has always been an indoor cat, raised with nothing but love, affection, and attention. She’s never known what it’s like to be alone.
Unfortunately, the person currently keeping her has her confined to a basement, surrounded by stored belongings, where she spends most of her time alone. She cries at night, barely wants to eat, and every time I visit her, it breaks my heart to leave her there.
She’s never lived like this. She used to sleep surrounded by family, receive endless cuddles, and be brushed and pampered. Now, I barely recognize my once-happy little girl.
I’m desperately looking for someone who can open their home to Katie for just a few weeks.
🐾 She’s 3 years old, healthy, spayed, microchipped, and fully vaccinated.
🐾 She’s affectionate, gentle, loves being petted, and enjoys sleeping comfortably.
🐾 A quiet home without young children or dogs would be ideal, as she’s not accustomed to either.
🐾 I will provide her food, litter, and everything she needs.
I’m located in Midtown Manhattan, NYC.
I visit Katie as often as I can, but between shelter rules and caring for my 14-year-old son and my family, I cannot stay with her.
I’m losing sleep worrying about her, especially with the colder weather approaching. She has already lost the comfort of the only home she’s ever known. I don’t want her to lose her sense of safety, too.
I’m not asking anyone to adopt her. I’m only asking someone to be her safe place until I can bring her back into my arms.
If you have a little space in your home and a lot of love in your heart, please consider helping Katie.
Please DM me if you can help, or share this with someone who might. Even a temporary act of kindness would mean more to us than words can express.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart. ❤️🐾
