My sister basically refused to take care of them, even for $100 a month; she also refused to name a figure at which she would accept them.  Evidently she can't be bought, which is purely ridiculous.

I'd likely refuse to take care of three cats if I were her as well.  You don't sound particularly close.

Richland sheriff is open Wednesday mornings to fingerprint civilians.  I'll be off then to do it.  If another PD can do it tomorrow on my break, I'll try then.

I requested a quote for transport of three cats to Jochiwon.  I'm not very sanguine about the possibility--Delta's domestic figures are like $200 an animal.  There is also the matter of acquiring the documentation proving they're safe--which is retarded, I'm sure cats in Korea are completely disease free. :rolleyes:

My sister basically refused to take care of them, even for $100 a month; she also refused to name a figure at which she would accept them.  Evidently she can't be bought, which is purely ridiculous.  I feel instead I should contract with someone for whom a $100 check every month (which means about a $50 a month profit) would matter more.  My stepsister would be ideal, but that branch of the family is allergic to cats. <_<

FFS Hunter - they're cats.

If and when it comes to it, if nobody else will take them, hand them over to the local humane society.  Tell them you're leaving for overseas, are very sad, but can not find anyone to take them.  They do manage to adopt most pets you know.

I'm speaking as someone who not only owns a cat (Heinsberg :wub:) but has moved him across time zones a couple of times.  But if it came between him and me being able to earn a living, there's no question what I'd do.

Actually, how do the Chinese view Americans in their country?  How does the government?

They really don't seem to care at all, TBH. It's definitely not Soviet-esque here. I don't even get many stares from locals for being a foreigner, but that's because I'm in Shanghai, not Bumfuck, China.

Don't start.  You know how much they mean to me.

A thought occurred to me while I was getting something to eat: I have a car.  I also know someone who would like to own a car.  I am passably certain I could deal with him.

However, the underlying problem is that the only people in this world I can trust to not pocket my money while throwing my cats in a river are my family, and Korea.  Unfortunately, in my nuclear family, there is my father and his allergic wife, my allergic stepsister, and my sister.

Some of my extended family may be amenable to a $100-200 (?) stipend and doing me a solid, however.  My aunt is a lonely old widower, after all.  Cats are the natural accessory to sad women facing the prospect of dying alone.  When you think about, I'd be doing her a favor.

I'm not saying you throw them in a sack in the river.

But if you can't find someone who wants them - let the Humane Society try to find a good home.

AKA let them go to a nice farm where they can run around and play with other cats. :x

The Humane Society does manage to adopt most pets.  Not all, but most.

If not to the Humane Society and his family won't take them, what do you want him to do garbo?

So, your advice to someone who's vowed to never take another animal's life, is to commit the animals he cares more about than most humans to the tender mercies of an organization that will lock them in a cage and "try" not to kill them?

I mean, I'd drive down to Florida and release them into the wild before I took them to Katzenkonzentrationslager.  I'll do what I always do.  Turn death into a fighting chance to live.
