Cat adoption in Buford, GA, 30518 (DSH) Cat "Silver"

Dear Everyone

My name is Nathapob Kattiengkit, and I am writing to urgently ask for your help with ten indoor cats currently living with my father, Thomas J. Allen, and me.

I am willing to accept any kind of assistance Furkids may be able to offer. Before proceeding, however, I would be very grateful for reassurance that the cats would be placed through a no-kill rescue, sanctuary, foster program, or responsible adoptive home and would not be euthanized simply because a permanent home could not immediately be found.

My father is 83 years old. We are not a rescue organization or a foundation. We are simply two ordinary people who have tried to help animals in our community. Over the years, we have taken in abandoned cats and cats that wandered onto our property. Some were disabled, some were blind, and others needed medical care. We provided treatment, food, shelter, and a safe place for them while trying to find permanent homes.

Unfortunately, finding suitable homes has been extremely difficult, so we continued caring for them ourselves.

There are ten cats in total: nine males and one female. All ten have been spayed or neutered. Their ages range from approximately two to eight years old, and most of them are over five years old. The only two-year-old cat is the female; the other nine cats are male.

They are strictly indoor cats and are kept in an enclosed area with no contact with outdoor animals. They receive regular flea and parasite-prevention treatment. However, because of our financial circumstances, we have not been able to take them to a veterinary clinic for vaccinations every year. I want to be completely honest about their medical history so that Furkids and anyone helping them will have accurate information.

My father is now elderly and suffering from several serious medical conditions. He has undergone a heart valve replacement, a cardiac procedure involving a balloon and a stent, and the implantation of an ICD that functions as both a pacemaker and a defibrillator.

We must all live in the same house and breathe the same air. Although I have tried to keep the cats separated and have done everything possible to maintain a clean environment, it has become extremely difficult. The air inside the house can sometimes trigger my father’s asthma and serious breathing problems. This is especially concerning because of his heart condition and everything he has recently endured. recently endured.

These circumstances have created tremendous hardship for both my father and me. Under normal circumstances, I would continue caring for every one of these cats for the remainder of their lives. However, I am no longer able to do so safely.

We are also facing severe financial difficulties. While my father has been ill, I have had to care for him constantly. I lost my job because I frequently needed to leave work, return home to care for him, or take him to the hospital. There are only the two of us, and we have no one else available to help.

I understand that Furkids may not have space for all ten cats. However, I sincerely hope you might be able to help with at least two or three of them. I am trying to place the cats with several different responsible organizations, so even accepting only two or three would make an enormous difference to us. Please, if there is any available space in your rescue, sanctuary, or foster network, I respectfully ask you to consider helping them.

Even though money is extremely tight, I am willing to make a monthly contribution to Furkids for as long as I am financially able. I will also cooperate in every possible way by providing photographs, personality descriptions, medical information, and details about each cat to help them find safe and loving homes.

Please help us. By helping these cats, you would not only be protecting their lives—you would also be helping an elderly man who worries deeply about what will happen to the animals he loves. My father does not know how much longer he will live, whether his remaining time may be short or whether he may still have several years ahead of him. This worry is weighing heavily on his heart.

Thank you very much for taking the time to read my message and consider our situation. I truly and urgently need your help. Please help my father, these ten cats, and me. Even assistance with only two or three cats would mean more to us than I can express.

Sincerely,

Nathapob Kattiengkit Father: Thomas J. Allen Contact phone: 754-244-9479
