My ex-neighbor Lisa sucks! Lisa moved in a few years ago with her two kids and two cats, Biggie, who has six toes on each paw, and Marshmallow. They are both big adult cats now and probably weigh quite a bit-- like 20lbs or so. They're older but very loving animals. A year or so ago Lisa took in a dog that was being gotten rid of by a friend of hers. They named the dog Julia. A few months ago Lisa decided she just had to move. She needed to be somewhere else. Being in her house wasn't good for her. And she just had to get away from her family, particurlarly her mother who drove her crazy. Although her mother always loaned her money as Lisa has none from not working in years. However, lisa has gotten by on loans from her mother and from various organizations and from "borrowing" house-hold items from neighbors and never replacing them. Lisa had an epiphany that North Carolina was the place for her to be even though she had been there. She thinks the schools will be better for her kids, and while I'm sure there are some very good schools, they won't be within Lisa's reach. She has no money for a house in a good area so chances are good her kids with go to a somewhat less desirable school. However, Lisa does not make her kids go to school. So she is moving but cannot take her cats with her, probably because landlords don't allow too many pets. But Julia the dog is definately going to North Carolina. That was never in question. The cats were given to a local shelter where they will probably be put down. I am so freaking angry. I'd take them if I could but my own cat would not tolerate new comers and there's a chance she would hurt them.  I feel so bad for those cats. I am praying some wonderful soul will look past their age and weight and Biggie's unique feet. They so deserve a better life and I think anyone would love them.
