Two Awesome Cats, Mac & Abby, Need A Home ASAP

Hi,

 
I’m sorry to bother you with this but I’m writing to see if we can get your help or ask you to please check within your circle to see if you know anyone that is interested in adopting 2 fantastic cats. It is with great sadness that we are forced to find a new family for our two cats, Mac and Abby.
 
My wife, Mary, has something called Lupus and among other symptoms and issues, has developed Asthma and allergies to certain things. While we knew she had this problem several years ago, it was only a minor issue and in our previous house, we installed a hospital grade air cleaning system from IQ Air that kept the problem in check, along with regular vacuuming and cleaning of course. About 18 months ago, we moved into a condo because the stairs were becoming too much of an issue for Mary’s joints, another related problem, so we needed to keep things on a single level. When we moved, we also bought a portable air cleaning unit, again, the best we could find, and that kept things in check for while. Unfortunately, over the past year, her asthma and breathing issues have worsened and while she was told she shouldn’t be around cats, we tried to manage the problem by adding a second air cleaning unit  in the apartment and after a weeklong visit to the hospital in November, we added a third unit to try to help. It is unfortunately, not helping enough and there is nothing more we can do and now, since the cats are mentioned in the doctor notes, if we do not do something about it, it will also present an insurance issue as she has been unable to work for some time now due to overall problems associated with Lupus.
 
Anyway, I’m sorry for the lengthy message and I’m not trying to share our problems with anyone, especially since there are far worse issues at play in the world today but I simply am hoping that you realize it is only after doing everything we can that we have reached the point where we simply must remove Mac and Abby from our home. We have tried our immediate family and contacts but with no luck.
 
They really are wonderful cats. Very affectionate, always around and very friendly with visitors as well. Mac is about 2 and a half years old now and Abby is about 3 and a half. They are both healthy and have all necessary medical treatments. We can provide Vet details and they will confirm. Also, (we can have a conversation about this because it is a discussion on its own) they have only been fed raw food or canned food since we have had them, never dry food. We hope this practice can continue and we will be happy to pay for the added cost of providing this to them. In addition, they have been trained to use scratching posts, we have two, since they have all their claws. Again, they ONLY scratch on the posts and this hasn’t been an issue for us. We will gladly provide these as well. In addition. Since we won’t need all three air cleaning units, I will give one away with the cats. It has extra carbon filters for better odour control and is worth about $1,300.
 
I guess in short, I’m just reaching out to see if you or anyone you know might be interested in meeting them and possible adopting them. I know the folks at Forgotten Ones already have their hands full but I wanted to include them in this in case they have any ideas. Since Mac and Abby have been together for about 2.5 years now, I would definitely want them to stay together if possible. I really can’t bear the thought of them in a cage somewhere but I don’t know how much longer we can keep them here. Mary is using her short term relief inhaler more frequently and I don’t know how long this can continue. We probably waited a little too long before making this decision but we just couldn’t accept it I guess.
 
Well, please respond so I at least know you have read this and please take a  few minutes to see if you can help. Again, if you think you have a good home but money is an issue, we can help with that if necessary.
 
Thank you for your time.
