I am a federal contractor. I was told to stop work when the government shut down.

On October 23, Pegasus Residential said they weren’t renewing my lease. We must move by mid-December. Today, they sent a 3 Day Notice to Vacate.

Our ACA insurance is rising from $368/mo to $1496 in January.

Crowned Prince Nedward adapted well to condo life when we moved to Florida. He’d traverse a whole block, and hang out on neighbors’ balconies when he escaped.

All, I need $3250 to give to the court by Tuesday if we want to stay until December 23. Otherwise, I can file an answer and hope the judge delays. But if not, we’ll have 3 days to get our things out and move.

Please donate and share. ❤️

The eviction notice was taped to my door today.

I have to file an answer or pay within 7 days.

Contractors haven’t been told to go back to work yet.

Please help. Donate. And share.

We can’t be homeless. We can’t lose the pets. We are so scared.

#ThrowbackThursday to the time when I bought a countertop icemaker because the fridge one broke (during Covid). Meadow and BlackJack became obsessed with it, and they wouldn't leave it alone. Anyone else have a cat with a small appliance fetish?

Bubba, throughout the messages, is Bill Clinton. And Mark and Jeffrey are discussing this like it's common knowledge between them.

So Trump and Bill Clinton were sexually involved? And there is video and there are photos? In Putin's possession?

Things were much happier last year.

Even as the shutdown ends, we’re facing eviction, medical bills and uncertainty. We need to stay housed.

Please, if you can help, donate and share.

Friends,

Pegasus Residential told me this morning that they are moving ahead with the eviction despite the government likely reopening this week, which make it nearly impossible to rent a new place.

Please help us, and Bigby and friends, stay housed.

I’ve reached out to a community group for help, and they’ve set up a GoFundMe to help avoid the eviction, pay for food and get us set in another place. As a federal contractor, it could be 30 days before they pay me after the shutdown ends. Please help if you can. Please share.

Happy #Caturday from Meadow in the giant fake palm tree that was so huge and heavy we had to pay extra to have it moved. Better times seem really like a thing in the far distant past.

"It’s not a stretch to say this administration is touting a eugenics agenda, which was perfected by the U.S. in the 1920s and 1930s and later adopted by the Nazis. People don’t want to call it that because it feels unsayable. But it’s real,” Spencer told the Daily Beast

#Caturday vibes. Fork was one of the first litter of kittens we fostered in Florida. We kept them all. Rookie mistake? Probably. But they’re family, and he’s helped raise hundreds of kittens since. He rarely has the one brain cell ginger cats share. His sister? She’s got it 💯.

Happy #Caturday from Stash! He has thoughts to share. He’s a feral who lives in a colony we care for, but he’s often friendly to us.
