It pains me to ask this question but we took on two sisters, 2 years old, who are quite adorable and loving but just do not get along with our existing two cats, who have taken to living in one room. There are daily fights still after 4 months and we feel they are just not happy here and should have a more stress free home. The girl we got them from is of course not returning emails or phone calls and we have exhausted our resources.

We have never had to give any pets away before and are looking for a place that could foster them until they can be placed. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Joe

Hi Joe,

I appreciate your difficulty but do not, i repeat, do not take your cats to a shelter. It is kitten season and the shelters are ALL filled to over capacity. They may not kill them but they may send them somewhere who will and almost definitely will separate them.

You obviously love them so my best advice for you is continue to search for solution... ample litter boxes etc... or find them homes yourself. Contact this group on facebook for advice.

these people are cat experts and would most certainly be able to help.

Now is the busiest time of year for shelters regarding cats, if you wish them to have a good future now is not the time to bring them in.

Here is another group who may be able to advise you.

Hang in, the cats may still co exist. It takes a VERY long time sometimes. but some of the people in these groups should be able to offer advice.
