Long story short I was evicted for disobeying apartment rules by propping open a noisy fire door and I was evicted and a crisis team took me away to a psych ward and diagnosed me as schizophrenic and gave me drugs that I stopped taking once I was discharged after three months. They took my cat who was one of my best friends away and I wasn't told what they did with him and now I think about him constantly. My family didn't let me move in with them for a month to find a new place even though they had plenty of room

This is an awful time for you, I am sorry it has been so bad. Do you have a friend who can help you trace the cat, to go and find out who made arrangements to move him from your old place, where they took him, so you and your supportive friend can go there and see what the story is. He may be in a shelter somewhere. You could also go to the cat shelter places where they care for stray or "abandoned" cats to see if the cat is there. If no luck with either of those, or you are told that the cat ran away, put up flyers in the old neighbourhood, with a description and the time he went missing approximately and how to contact you. If he was microchipped, there may be a record of him somewhere he may have been taken or at local vets. Advertise in the local paper if you can. Ask people at neighbouring properties if they have seen him. Hand out flyers to the shelters too for future reference. You will have to do some investigation and I wish you luck with a successful outcome.

If you are really attached to and love the cat, it's your priority right now, even though it sounds as if you have a lot of stuff going on. Even if you don't find him - I really hope you do - you will feel better knowing that you have done all you can. If there is residual bad feeling between you and the people who evicted you which seems likely, going there is a job for your support person/friend perhaps. Good luck with this. I am sorry you are missing him. Cats rock.

I have no advice, but I empathize.

Kitties are better than people.

Sounds rough especially since it was by no choice of your own. I've moved around a lot in the last couple years and had to give up my pets on 2 occasions. I can't have any pets where I am right now but hoping to move to a place that allows it once this lease is up.
