A friend of mine is moving and has to get rid of his cats. They're spayed/neutered, good with kids, two of them are de-clawed... I'd take them in, but he's moving before I will be home.
kemidra, which shelter do you volunteer at? He doesn't want to have to give them to a shelter, but maybe I can recommend that one to him so he knows there's at least one good person around to check on his babies. *sigh* I can't imagine having to give up my babies.
