Help 3 cats and 2 humans escape 1 narcissist
Donation protected
I was living in Seattle when my life went bust, so my partner, myself, and our 3 cats had to move back home with my mother. She'd promised we'd have ample space for the cats. Not true. She'd told me her dogs had never harmed a cat. Also not true.
The short version is, in addition to her threatening the cats, her dog lurks outside and makes every attempt he can to kill them. The house is filthy. The neighbors are planning an intervention because her animals are in trouble. It's a bad time.
The cats are stuck in our room because her dog likes to hunt small, furry things and running the murderous dog gauntlet is stressful and dangerous.
I have a stable job and planned to move us out in a few months once I was financially stable, but my mother has accused my partner of hiding "devices" that make her dog go crazy and threatened the cats. It's enough to write a book, so I did if you want the whole story .
For their sake as well as ours, we need out now. We want to avoid being part of a true crime podcast. If you are down with preventing true crime podcasts, but would rather buy a shirt or mug or something, we've got those, too .
THE BREAKDOWN
$1200: This is what I owe my old complex in Seattle before we can even start looking.
$2000: Between first month's rent, deposits, application fees, pet deposits, and so forth, this is what we need to get into a place.
$1000: This goes towards getting utilities turned on and some basic furnishings. I'll sleep on the floor for my cats if I have to, but I'm old and would rather not.
$800: This will cover taxes and fees so I don't wind up in this situation again and will also go towards unexpected moving expenses.
STRETCH GOAL
I still do owe $4600 on the car, which she helped finance (and I am grateful for the help). I'd love to get that paid off.
