Kelsey's Cats by Pirate Queen ChoChiyo
Kelsey's Cats, a photo by Pirate Queen ChoChiyo on Flickr.

My friend and former student Kelsey recently bought a home in a Kansas City suburb--it was in foreclosure, and the former owner seems to have abandoned his cats in the yard when he left.

There are a total of five, I believe, and I think they are all orange. They are very friendly and affectionate cats, and they want desperately to get IN to the house.

Sadly, Kelsey and her son are very allergic to cats, so she just isn't able to give them a home with her. Apparently homeless animals are a huge problem in KC and most of them are euthanized if picked up by the humane society.

Is there anyone who can give these pretty little guys a home? It breaks my heart to see them staring into the patio door, longing to be taken in and cuddled. If I wasn't in dire straits myself, I'd think about taking them.

I do not know if they have been neutered.

If any one has any interest or hope at all, I will ask Kelsey for more information.

Can she at least put some food out in the yard for them? I know that encourages them but they're already there and not leaving so no use them starving.

This is a tremendous problem with foreclosures. At least they were locked inside to slowly starve.

Hopefully, they are fixed.

When I last talked to her, she was not feeding them...but if she thinks there is hope of them finding a new home, she would probably do so.

Orange kitties are so sweet. :(

They need to be snuggled up in the family love bed like me and my three monsters.

Reportedly that thrift store will farm out animals to farms as working cats, too. She can also get food assistance, and she needs to feed them now.

Here via [livejournal.com profile] tammypierce and while I'm in the wrong part of the world to take one or really help re-home them, I've signal-boosted this.

Thank you to everyone who looks or boosts the signal for these kitties. We can't save every homeless animal--but if we can make a difference for a few, it would be such a good thing. :)

I posted on FB; I have a lot of friends in rescue so hopefully with all the sharing that's going on, these babies will be homed.
