Megan missing....

After being evicted from my apartment after losing my job and not being able to afford the rent, I moved into my car as I had no where else to go. Naturally I took my baby, my 16 year old cat Megan with me. I would not go into a shelter and give her up - I recently lost my mom, my sister moved 2000 miles away. Anyway at some point about 6 weeks ago Megan got out of the car. I dont know where as I didnt see her but walked streets searching constantly. I had an ad in the paper but took it out as I am now in a shelter and if I found her again, I would have to give her up and it would kill me. Plus I couldnt find anyone to take her. I feel guilty for giving up but have been trough so much I don't have the energy to be on this emotional rollercoaster. Any support would be appreciated. I cry for her, pray she is OK. Don't know what else to do.

" Oh Nancy, I am so sorry that you have lost your beloved Megan. I always think that there is probably a website somewhere that connects people up to help with caring for pets when desperate situations arrive. If not, maybe I should start one! There are so many kind people who would help if you only knew how to contact them.
You have been through a very hard time and I truly hope that someway things will start going better for you. I know that my pets are a constant comfort for me during this time in my life where the loss of my own mom is coming soon. I am sending you a big hug and lots of positive energy!
Love,
Jan "

" God bless you Nancy! You have been through some real trying times. I pray they get better for you. I know how much our fur babies mean to us. I'm disabled and widowed. My two kitties are my source of comfort when everything is looking bleak. Both of them are older ladies also...one is 18, the other is 15. I pray you find your beloved friend! "
