Why I need a new home

Human health issues (e.g. allergies, sickness)

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:


Mr. Black was born in my yard with 2 brothers and a sister 8 yrs ago. I was able to trap and neuter and spay him, mother, sister, and one brother. He is a large, mostly white cat w/black spots, and has been an outside cat all of his life. I have insulated boxes for the 3 who remained with me, and have a heater inside a large shed, where they can stay inside their boxes near the heater, and come and go to the back yard as they like.

Unfortunately, I am a Stage IV metastatic breast cancer patient, and I'm trying to rehome my cats before I get to the point that I can no longer care for them.

Mr. Black is socialized to me, although he is still skittish around other people. I love on him every time I see him, and he comes to me wanting to be loved on. Separation and a slow introduction to other cats would be best. I feel he would be able to acclimate to other cats. I have an indoor/outdoor female cat that he has gotten used to being around, no longer considers her an outsider.
