I have been wanting to cut down on the number of halp posts I put here because it is getting a little bit overwhelming for me to deal with, but OMG, please boost the signal on this one.
This is Murph. She's 14 and, as you can see, gorgeous. Sadly, older cats are hard to place, especially in a hurry.
And her owner is dying. This is horrible enough on its own, but her owner's nurse is very allergic to cats -- go-to-the-hospital allergic. You can't just find good nurses on every streetcorner, it takes time, but there isn't any time to be had here. It's really, really horrible to contemplate putting your beloved pet to sleep so that you can have decent care while you are dying. DYING.
If all we can leave behind us when we go is a legacy of love, it would fucking blow goats knowing that circumstances conspired to fuck you so hard that you not only can't have your pet with you to comfort you in your time of suck, you have to put her to sleep so that you can be cared for, and you will have to live with that memory and die with that memory.
So if you could boost the signal, ask others to boost it, please do it. Murph NEEDS a home very, very soon. Her human deserves that comfort. Murph deserves that chance. They both need hope.
She is a good cat, well-behaved and decorous, litter trained, affectionate, smart . . . all these virtues of older cats that nobody considers because they can't look past the years. She would make a lovely pet for a couple or a single person without very small kids, but she gets along fine with doggies and other animals.
If you can help, please help. It's not even money, it's just posting a link and asking others to repost it to save a lovely cat's life and give comfort to a dying person. All it takes is ONE email, ONE link sent to the right person -- just one -- and this can be a happy moment in a sad story, instead of the fuck-you cherry on the banana split of suck.
If you can take her or know someone who can, or if you have any questions about her at all, please email this address:

My own little goblin just came bleating and grumbling into the room. She's 15. Old. I would move heaven and earth to take care of her, even if I were on my last legs. I would just need a little help to do it.
Internet magic, make it happen.
