They are two cats: a boy and a girl. They are in good health and have basic feeding requirements. No medications. No history of aggression towards people (boy cat has been territorial around other cats besides his sister).

I'm reposting this hoping it gets different eyes this time, and also because a week has passed and I'm starting to panic. I'm basically planning on being homeless on the 31st.

Coming on 3 weeks ago now, I was illegally evicted from my apartment by my roommate changing the locks while I was away. I've been living in motels and trying to talk to lawyers since. My savings are burning fast and I just can't afford to stay in temporary housing like this. In a week I'm not going to have this hotel room anymore. And I don't know what comes after that. I don't know what I'm doing. I just want to know that my cats are going to be safe and we aren't saying goodbye right now because of this. I want the chance to fix my life and still have my family at the end.

I got kicked out of a situation where I was explicitly told it was okay for me to be there while working on a tech support certification. Now I need to find a home and a job at the same time (how do you even do that?? Where do you look??) and at the same time try to sue the shit out of the guy who did this to me. I just can't afford pet friendly hotels anymore even with the promise of being paid back eventually by the lawsuit. My savings are shredded. I can cope with living in my car for a while but my cats can't. I can't deal with all of this at once on my own. I honestly need help.

    I’m nowhere near close enough to help, but here’s a comment for visibility. Hoping you and your kitties get some help!

    Wait wait wait. Your roomie locked you out even though you're still legally renting the place? What did the landlord say?

      He lied to the landlord and said I was only going to be there for a few weeks. After I submitted an application to be added to the lease. So they tossed it in the trash and never bothered talking to me. I asked the landlord for a replacement key and got told I didn't have a lease with them so I didn't live there. I've been paying rent since May 15. My mail is addressed there. I have text messages talking about moving in when I moved in and one asking me for my share of the rent when he informed me that I had already moved out. None of this mattered to him. None of this mattered to the cops I called. "It's a civil matter take it up with the court."

      Oh by the way my roommate is the maintenance guy for the apartments and has been working there for like 20 years. So home field advantage when it comes to the owner.

        Wow, holy shit that's terrible. I'm glad you at least have to option to sue but fuck that sucks. What inspires people to be so shitty?

          Complacency. I've had a lifelong friendship with this person where I taught them that I'd let them get away with anything.

    I'm so sorry. I really hope you can figure out somewhere for you and your cats to stay. I'm not sure how I could help. This sucks

    I'm in southern California but not really in a position to board any cats, as I'm living at home and it's not my place to offer it. I could potentially ask around at work? Don't know how much you'd trust complete strangers though.

      They're going to be with strangers wherever they get boarded. As long as I can track them down and check in on them it's better than a crate or a cage that's still somehow 70 dollars a day.

    Not in California, but commenting for visibility as well. I hope everything works out in the end for you and your kitties.

    Have you contacted any local foster orgs or humane societies? I don't think you can do it directly through them, but they might be able to get you in contact with someone who can help

    I knew someone in Lancaster near LA, they used to have a cat. Haven't talked to them in years but let's share it

    Different continent but keeping this alive so the fluffs can find a warm place.
