So about a month ago my husband was arrested for domestic violence. It was the first time anything like that happened.. he thought I wasn’t going to be home (earlier in the day I told him I was going to a friends house) so he got drunk and drive home.. at like 6 pm.. I won’t get into the whole story because I’m sick of talking about it..

BUT we were in the process of buying a house so we had terminated our lease.. while the cops were there and I was obviously hurt and distraught my landlord came by.. said I’m sorry but you have to sign this termination agreement.. I’m like whatever.. so I sign it.. well he ran as soon as the cops were being called so he couldn’t sign it.. so the cops told me to leave with my daughter and go to my friends house.. my friend who witnessed everything.. in case he came back.. I had a puppy and cat.. so I fed them for the night, let them out and left.. my cat is my soulmate!! He is literally a being that was created specifically for me!!! I go back in the morning, feed them, let them out.. go back to my friends house.. where CPS tells me I have to stay with my friend for 14 days or have her stay with me.. she didn’t want to stay at my place and she is in a small apartment with 2 cats of her own so I couldn’t bring my animals.. between 6 am (when I went and fed my animals) and noon my landlord texts me telling me she is filing an eviction because we both didn’t sign the agreement.. I was like “look lady!! You know what is going on right now and you are just making everything worse!” It was more professional but along those lines.. when I go back at noon to feed them again and take my dog for his walk there is an animal control notice on my door.. saying I abandoned my animals and to call within 24 hours.. I walk into my house and my dog is already outside??? And my cat is nowhere to be seen.. I hadn’t seen my dog yet so I BREAK down!!! I’m like they took them!!! In the midst of my break down my dog comes running to me and I find my cat.. I’m like “phew” THANK GOD!!! I animal control and my hey dismiss the case because I obviously didn’t abandon them.. at this point I didn’t know if my ex was in custody yet.. we had been texting (me telling him to turn himself in) so I tell him that the animals are going to be alone and if his mom can grab them.. but that I’ll still care for them.. no response...

this was around noon.. I feed them, let my dog out, do a training sesh with him, take him on a walk and then leave to my friends again.. when I come back at 6 pm my animals are GONE!!! I’m thinking his mom came and got them.. I tried texting her and got nothing.. I get in touch with his attorney and he tells me he advised them not to speak to me.. before this I was texting her telling her that she is basically harboring a fugitive and she literally says to me that it was all my fault..

so I’m thinking ok, she has them! Weeks go by, we have a court date to lift the no contact order and it’s rejected... but a third party can reach out to me (meanwhile I’m living in my friends 1 bd apt.. with a baby and a part time 5 year old, I share custody with the 5 yr olds father)

So an employee of ours reached out to me.. we owned a business.. he basically tells me my ex is going to give me money and pay for a hotel for me until we find a place, since jailtime fucked up the house plans.. I ask about my animals and he says that my ex’s mom does NOT have my animals!!!! So I immediately freak the fuck out!!! Call every shelter around and no one has seen, heard of, knows anything about my animals!!! So by that point I’m assuming my cat has been put down already and my puppy has been sold off.. but they have nothing in there records of them at all.. so I think my landlord took them!! She couldn’t handle a German Shepard puppy so she probably sold him and maybe kept my cat?? I know she loves cats because when we first moved in I found a baby kitten and couldn’t keep it (because we were planning on getting a puppy) and she took it and got another cat to keep the baby company..

she denies everything! I have asked her,definitely harassed her about it and she says she has no idea where the animals are but who else could have gotten into my home??? I’m so angry.. I love both of them but I’ve had my cat for 8 years and he is my sons bestfriend, my soulmate.. my puppy was amazing and house trained (which took a lot of time, patience, and energy from me) and I feel like she just capitalized off of it! I’m so fucking sad!! I’m still living in a hotel which is fine but I know I’ll never see them again!! My heart hurts
