I need advice. On a few things.

I've been homeless since I turned 18. Moved out of state and lived with a friend for a while, until she finally was on the edge of completely destroying me.. so I left.

Homeless again, this time in a place I don't know with only a few acquaintances, most of whom I met thru my former friend.

Moved in with one of those friend who I had grown very close to during the time I lived with her. (Lots of backstory during that time but probably not important in this post.)

Anyway so I move in with him and all the feelings I tried to not call to attention were full on in my face.

I don't really date or involve myself in relationships often, but I really love this man. I couldn't be happier with the choices that have led me here, even with all the shit we had to endure for it to happen.

Anyways.

Still homeless, but now living with my bfs and his family.

And.

I have two cats.

I love my cats with all my heart, one I got right after turning 18 and had been my companion during my trials.

The second, I got from my former friend and roommate, though lots of drama had taken place there as well.

But now I'm feeling that as difficult as this decision is to make, my cats deserve a better life. They're currently living in a tent and I only check on them throughout the day.

I mentioned to my bf that if we were going to progress our lives (get a place, jobs, etc) maybe spending money on these two isn't a great idea, because we still can't give them what they need.

He didn't seem thrilled. I understand. They are my children and he loves them just as much as I do.

But I don't know what to do..
