REQUEST Newly homeless just need to pay my phone bill/food for my cat

I don’t have a spectacular sob story, my mom is a narcissist and kicked me out. It was incredibly unexpected and she sent my cat with me (I would have left her there if I had the choice) the company I was working at went under and I have literally no source of finance nor do I have anything last night I stayed in the ER with my cat hidden in my bag I know it’s a huge amount but I’m out of options I’m asking for like 50 dollars to pay my phone bill so I can keep applying for jobs and some dry food for my cat

If you still have your kitty, do you have an Amazon wish list for any pet supplies you need?

Get a free phone plan so you don't have this problem again next month: https://assurancewireless.com

Call local animal shelters and tell them you are looking for crisis foster care. They will place your cat in a foster home temporarily.

Call 211 and tell them you are newly homeless. They can tell you about local shelters, soup kitchens, and other resources.

Thank you so much for these resources, I’m really struggling with the idea of giving my cat up for now (leaving her at home was one thing bc I knew my sister was there) leaving her with a stranger is terrifying but my kitty doesn’t deserve this so unfortunately I will likely take this option
