I have two cats that have held me together through a lot of mental abuse and more. I want to leave the situation, but I can not leave my two boys behind. He has thrown them outside before when I tried to leave.
He also makes sure he keeps me without money or a car. I have had 5 TIAs back to back in one night and several other health issues. I believe if I don't find a way to get away from the man I've been with for 8 years I will end up in my grave sooner then I would like.
I'm not allowed to have friends or FB. Everywhere I call for help they tell me they're full and don't accept my two cats. They have been very loyal to me and mentally help me cope. I can not leave them with anyone else; they stopped eating last time I tried to leave and month later I went back for their safety and health. I'm at a loss of what to do at the age of 47 and feel like I have no options anymore. Is there anybody that has good resources?
Desperately.

Maybe you have a trusted friend who can take care of the cats. Your life has to take first place. If he does indeed kill you, you will not be available to take care of them or anyone/thing else.
Sending you prayers and hope that you can get out of your situation with your beloved kitties. This link is too help you find a place that allows you to bring pets:
Please find a safe place and contact them ASAP.
As a second option, in some cases animal shelters or vet offices can take pets until you can get settled. Hopefully someone the link provided can help you take them with you.
The cycle of abuse can be broken. There are many, many survicors out there and people who want to help. PLEASE ask for help....please...do it now! You deserve to have a happy, peaceful, and amazing life. Post back to let us know when you are safe!
If you have not checked on the resource that Pghgirl provided, please do so ASAP.
You are in a very volatile situation for anyone who abuses an animal may also do harm to others so do not wait until there are even more serious problems.
I do not believe these shelters will turn you away so seek help soon.
Look into victims rights. You may be eligible to receive monetary payments for pain and suffering and for medical help like therapy and counseling. Also you can including relocating fees and anything else you had to leave behind. Compile all the evidence you can, pics, voice recordings and even keep a journal about everything that is admissible in court. A go fund me page can help you raise money as well and your local womens shelter will do the very best they can for you. Im in the same boat, but as soon my income tax comes in me amd my girls are leaving. It took me 4 years but ive finally realized that he will never change and i don't want to wake up in 10 years and still be right here.
