Bought pure bread brother and sister at birth, found the third a year ago in a pet store and she was beyond sad in the cage. We had to save her.

Duke, Dutchess and Princess. ( I have 2 girls who named them, lol )

Quoted from JayDee:

Very cute, but my god, I can’t imagine the hair all over the place. They are very fuzzy I had a shorthair and he left traces everywhere

Oh yeah! its a shit show and both the wife and I have allergies and take pills. It was either cats or Siberian huskies, I saw that house and hard passed.

Quoted from DaWezl:

The reality is that the odds are very slim that your two cats will find a new home together. There are just very few adopters looking for multiple adult cats compared to the numbers that are available due to owners passing away, families getting evicted, and yes, surrendering them due to allergies. So unless you find a person on your own that is willing to take on your cats, you’ve pretty much sentenced them at best to a very long stay in a shelter as they wait to be adopted, and at worst being put down in a cold clinical room alone and scared. They also might not get adopted together which is also traumatic for them. There are many articles written about how animals in shelters show clear signs of depression if they stay there too long and many more about the realities of older animals getting adopted.
I’m not judging you if you consider all of that and still are left feeling you have no other alternative to solving the situation you find yourself in. But you’ve spent all of these years taking excellent care of your cats, and it’s likely not just a simple matter of them having to adjust to someone new filling up the food bowl. It’s a VERY scary and horrible experience for your cats. All of that is why so many people are on this thread encouraging you to explore every option possible to resolve this without giving your cats up.
BTW, I have been at work 12-14 hours a day most of my career, and my cats are all fine, so not being home as much as before isn’t something you need to be concerned about. That’s a minor adjustment for them.

Well said. We had two cats for 4 years and everything was great until we walked into the pet store that day. I have never seen an animal so upset before. I made the decision to bring her home and give her the life she deserved. Its been very hard, already having 2 current cats who don't like her but it was the right choice in the end.

I don’t know what that means.

Shocking.
