Firstly thank you ALL for the replies and kind words.
I understand what many of you are saying about my mum possibly changing her mind when she's home and needing the cats.
But the thing is, these cats are family cats but I'm the cat lover - they are more like my cats. she doesn't have the bond with them that i have.
As of late she's even 'blamed' them for her 'keeping her ill'.
Her friend asked her to consider the cats, but she said she doesn't care what happens to them.
At the moment she thinks nothing is worth living for and that everyone and everything will be better off without her.
It's a very complicated situation, and there are so many more factors in this.
Also JackSpratt - Thankyou so much for contacting MIND to find out more, that is very very kind of you.
Millys Mum -
I really have no idea how long someone would have to foster them for, I'm going to be asking friends etc if they can look after them until i either find my own place, my mums partner finds a place to live permanently, my mum gets a bit better and changes her mind or if all else fails i have the time to find them a permenant home with someone i trusted . I really hope that wouldn't be the case tho.
They are all vaccinated, but never had boosters.
Ruby is 1 and a half, Kipper is 15 and Phoebe is 12.
Thank you for asking around for me, i will also take a note of local cattery's if need be.
And finally Rosella Moggy -
Your brothers situation sounds very similar to my mums in that she can hardly do anything for herself, i have been looking after her for the last few years, she has no motivation to wash, dress even eat, let alone look after the cats.
I called the place she is in today to try and find out when she will be coming home, but they were extremely unhelpful, the woman on the phone said that if my mum hasn't made contact with me that she will respect her wishes and not tell me anything.
I then got angry and said how after hearing from my mums friend that she thinks she's coming home next week ( she took an overdose and still is saying she is wants to end her life) that she should not be allowed home and how i have a right to know whats happening to my mum she said she would pass on my concerns and then hung up on me. So i hope i will be contacted when she is discharged, i just hope it's not so soon, I'm so scared for her.
I have no control over the situation but i will try and do the best for my girls and make sure they are OK in all of this, they can sense the mood in the house hold, and i feel so bad for them.
Thank you all for the help so far x
