I was visiting my mom a few nights ago and one of her neighbors were throwing out a few pet crates. I decided to grab the smaller one that was big enough to put my cat in, knowing that should I ctb it would be best to take him to an animal shelter. This is the hardest part of my plan that I have to come to terms with. If I survive the attempt somehow and I don't have my little buddy to come home to I will be absolutely devastated... but at the same time I don't trust that my family will give a shit about him and do the right thing.
One reason why I feel I must take action soon is my living situation. I will lose the apartment soon and even if I were to move in with family I will not be able to take my little friend with me. My other cat was stolen from me by some tenants that moved out of my complex and my two uncles acted completely indifferent, in fact, one of them told me, "well now you'll save money on cat food." My mom, though allergic to cats, had a soft spot for the one who was taken, but doesn't like my other pet.
If I were to pass away, I'm not sure if they would even make the effort to rehome him. I've come to realize that there isn't any hope left for me... no matter what, at the end of this year, my lease ends and I don't have anywhere left to go. I've spent the last of my savings just paying the bills at this place, as I've been unable to keep a job. Even if I moved in with my heartless uncles and continued my miserable existence, my poor cat isn't welcome there. Even my ex who used to live with me at this place joked that he would move out and just leave this cat here.
I relate to this animal so much. He is antisocial, has trust issues from being abandoned. People don't understand his quirks and think he's combative or even dangerous. I feel like I'm the only one he has and he would not be likely to be adopted due to his nature and the stress and trauma caused from losing his familiar home. I feel so bad for him. I don't know what the right thing to do even is anymore. I guess I was curious about other people's experiences on here and what ya'll plan to do with your pets.
