My grandmother gave me a call yesterday to inform me that her new landlord hates cats and told her to get rid of all three of hers or risk eviction. Before I'd moved myself, I'd offered to take one, so she (correctly) assumed that the offer is still on the table. And if things were the way they were when I'd left, I'd be fine making this choice; but this is a different situation. Unlike before, no matter which cat I choose, I'll never see the other two ever again. And I really love all three of them.

I watched Mango grow from a scrawny little thing into a BIG, handsome, fluffy man. Luna gave me the love and affection I needed after a really bad breakup. And Darryl, as small and goofy as she is, was sort of MY cat and followed me around the house. How am I expected to choose between them?? I love them all, I have an attachment to each of them - how am I supposed to decide which one will stay in my life and which two will be sent to a shelter or strangers home?

Out of all of them, Darryl is the most likely to be adopted quickly, because she's a small, cute little lady. Luna is old and very timid, but so so sweet, so I'd hope she'd be adopted, but realistically, she might spend her final years in a shelter. And Mango may be a very handsome boy, but he adores my grandma, so no matter where he goes, he's going to be severely depressed and will probably become very antisocial.

I don't know what to do... I want to keep all of them, but I know I couldn't afford that even if I tried. Rent is already a pain, I'd realistically only be able to take care of one. I can't say I'm partial to any of them, because I love all of them very deeply and equally.

I feel like I'm being torn apart.
