Hi. My name is Timothy Sean Lynch. On April 26, just last month, my home caught fire from a faulty electrical device. One room was gutted, and the rest of my home was damaged by water and smoke. I found a place to live with a friend, but my 3 cats are not so lucky. I have been unable to get them into any long-term housing. My insurance company hasn't given me any help or indicated if they will pay for care for my cats in any way whatsoever. So for the time being, they are still living in the condo. It's far from a perfect situation; their time there is limited by the hopefully swift start of reconstruction. And it's a freaking mess in there.

My income is limited to my Social Security. And the 2 places they say they can take my 3 cats are $93 a day or $95 a day for all 3. OUCH doesn't even say this.

I estimate they will need to be in boarding for at least 6 months, which is more money than I want to think about. So I've started this GoFundMe to help pay for the boarding of my family for at least 3 months.

These cats are not my kids, but they are my family. Scooch is 12, Sabeaux (Sa-Bow) is also 12, and Scout is 9. I DO NOT want to give them up for adoption, which is what I will have to do if I can't get them into boarding. Re-homing them at this age would be more traumatic than living where they are now. But I have to do something to take care of my family. Can you help, please?
