Desperately trying to rehome my parents cat (cleveland, OH)
I’ve tried Facebook, AdoptAPet and local shelters. No luck. This is truly my last resort.
This is Noodle. She’s about 7 years old. She’s very affectionate, curious and spunky.
My parents have her locked in a basement with no lights all day and night because our old cat used to urinate on things when panicked (our sisters large dog would chase her) and Noodle urinated in one of the old spots. My parents refuse to properly clean the urine and do the surprised pikachu face when Noodle smells it and scent marks there. She has lived in another house with 0 accidents. This is purely their fault. I’ve tried properly cleaning and even hiring a cleaner service and they won’t let me.
She doesn’t get to see a vet for yearly check ups either. Our last cat died because they wouldn’t take her to the vet.
All day and night she cries hysterically by the basement door and scratches at it. I’m not allowed to let her out. I’m disabled and live with my adoptive family and we can’t take her because we have too many animals and our landlord is upset with us. I’d take her in a heartbeat if I could but I can’t. I’ve begged and pleaded.
I’ve asked people I know, even old friends i don’t talk to and people my sibling works with. Nobody can take her. Because of her age shelters won’t even reply when I send in info. Facebook has been a bust as well.
I need her to find a new home but I’m genuinely terrified of the kind of people online who might feign an interest… I’ve seen people use cats as bait or just to straight up abuse/kill. So if someone adopts her I’d like to be able to video call and see her every now and then (obv not at random, I’d make sure it’s ok with you). She’s an indoor cat. She’s spayed. She has her claws and please don’t declaw her. She’s okay around dogs and cats but I’m not sure if she’d be as comfortable around little kids.
If you or anyone you know is interested in this sweet girl please let me know.
