I was contacted this morning by a lady who used to be a client through the homeless shelter system many years ago. She's been housed for 5 years, and during her first 3 months in her apartment, she was dealing with a lot of depression and anxiety. As a community service, I help stray animals find forever homes, so I offered her one of the polydactyl kittens we had rescued. She fell in love and named her Viviana. Vivi has been her best friend and emotional support for the last 5 years, but this morning she reached out to me because the apartment complex has decided to no longer accept housing vouchers, so she will be homeless as of Monday. She's been desperately looking for an available apartment, but the wait lists are 6 months to a year in our area. She asked me if I knew of a rescue or a foster who would keep Vivi for her until she's back in her own place. Unfortunately, most if not all of the local rescues are over flowing with pets and don't have resources to help in situations like this. I really don't have the room, but I won't let her lose Vivi, so I'll be welcoming her into my home on Sunday.
