Please Help Me and my Cat

Donation protected
Hello everyone,
This is not easy for me to say but currently it's been a very stressful 2026 as well as last year so let me tell my story.
It's a little rough for me to say but yes, I am currently homeless, I had been living either with friends or short term stays to at least keep myself from being out on the street.
My last resort was staying with my sister, and my reason is she is mentally, emotionally and verbally abusive towards me. She does have a temper that can lead to physical, there have been times in the past that she has thrown my car keys in my face and called me a "Shitty driver" got in my face and called me a retard and there was a time where I was taking my medication and she got upset with me and "urged" me to take all my pills and die then.
So I don't feel safe going to live with her, not to mention I just had a recent incident with her that involved losing my job and my car.

Not only that things have been stressful, my cat is sick and having some kind of breathing issue, and I really don't wanna lose her now especially after everything. She is eating and drinking and I have been monitoring everything with her, I am not sure if it's a cold or upper respiratory but she has her days where she seems okay and then days where I grow concerned. But I am doing everything I can to keep her okay I know she's old and stress from moving around is putting us both through some physical problems, I myself have been in the hospital now 3 times this year due to being sick with the weather and the mental toll.
(Update, I did apply for emergency Vet Assistance from Pets of the Homeless and got approved, thank god also thank you to my friend for buying Cat food and supplies, thank you so much from the bottom of my heart.)

It's hard to work when I am moving around so much and since I don't have a car anymore thanks to my sister, I'm a bit limited.
Right now, I am doing everything I can through fighting in court and since that may take months or weeks for whatever answers I get, right now I really need the help anyone can give me, I am at my last legs here and it's been making me very very scared and saddened but I know I have to hold on and have hope because if anyone knows me, you know I always find a way but this time, I'm at my last legs and I really need all the support and help this time.

I want to at least have money for a place I would love to move away from New Jersey that allows cats, once I have that I want to start looking for a job at least before this month is gone because I need a break to relax, I've been through hell this past few months and it's not right that I hadn't taken a proper time to relax, I had been TRYING to run away from my family's abuse for too long. My family wants nothing to do with me because of my "choices" I dunno if because I'm bisexual, or because I hate children and I don't believe in God or because of mental issues but I had been labeled "weird" and "not good enough." But, it's tough for me to stay here. I wanna start over, pursue my career and leave the trauma behind.


Or possibly moving somewhere that is less car reliable and easier to find jobs that are related to my degree and my animal handling license.

Right now currently the goal is to just make at least $1,000 to be able to make the down payment for the home that I'm planning on moving in, I will still try to work whatever job I can get to make a little here and there.

I honestly just want to get out even if it means staying in a hotel for a few days until I figure everything out but right now currently it's been hell for me and while I'm trying to hold on and keep my head above water, I'm hoping every little bit helps and thank you for listening to me.
