That's awful. I hope things work out.

But the last time I did, they lost my insurance information and sent me 4 bills that added up to over $4k for a single routine checkup in which they didn't find anything. I don't know if it's safe to have another medical visit while that fuckup is still being resolved.

My mum's unemployment situation is more dire than I thought.

She can only be in US if she has a job, due to the visa. She is unlikely to find a job in 2 months. Might not even be able to find a job in her industry because so many jobs have laid her off over the 10 or so years, which would lead people to thinking she's cursed/unemployable.

But, we may be homeless in 1 or 2 months.

It's dire enough we might have to give away our cat. Our cat we've had for 12 years, since she was a small kitten only a two or three months old.

Cat can't live with me either, I don't have a job or a home either.

Not sure any family can have her stay. Aunt has dogs. My grandma has a dog and a small apartment. My dad lives with a friend, who also has a dog. My grandpa is all the way in BC (and we are in Tennessee and rest of our family is in Ontario).

I can't stop thinking about my cat. That this may be my last months with her. I feel as I would feel if she were dying.

I live for that cat. One of a kind cat and one of the few things that brings me joy and comfort in this shitty world. And she loves us and doesn't know anyone but us.
