Yes, definitely heading north. Got to hang out in the area long enough for return of deposits and a couple of dr appts and then heading north. It was 77 degrees yesterday in February. It's been getting so that most of the months are warm to hot around here and sometimes doesn't cool down until oct/nov.
I'm new to the site. Just tried to DM you back and it said I can't send more than 2 messages per day. Weird? You have an email where I can reach you?
Ok, here's an idea; since so many folks are on here -- & many in the KY area where the OP is, I think -- can we pull together to ask around to see if anyone can assist by taking these pets til further notice? It seems that w/ a board of many 1000s of folks, that surely we'd find someone nearby that'd collaborate w/ OP for assistance.
I can't believe there's no solution other than boarding up vehicle windows to endure the summer nonsense, etc. Check me if wrong but it seems ludicrous -- w/ so many folks accessing this site daily -- that we can't rally a solution.
Ok, sorry to rant but I went college in WV but am no use here yet as still in in Godforsaken dumpy AZ ( apologize to you AZ lovers, ahem, but...) thus am rendered useless -- other than rallying the troops to help her out. Thanks all for your consideration.

She mentions that her cats are very old. She tried to rehome them, but they refused to eat and nearly died. I don't think she'd have a hard time finding someone to take them on this board, especially if temporary, but the cats won't have it. They'd rather die than go through the stress of a new home.
... because you had spent all your money on cats. Yes, this sounds cold, but it's the truth.
Ridiculous, & yes, very cold. These cats/pets are FAMILY to her -- & many others in same boat. I'll refrain from saying beyond cold, as it'll suffice. No need to comment in a derogatory way. If nothing good to say, why bother saying anything? Destructive crit is worse than none at all, no?
I got word today that I will be cut off disability. I have zero chances of holding down a job. No employer has ever wanted to keep me no matter how hard I tried to keep up with everyone. I haven't even received a job offer since 2009.
I'm filing an appeal, but I won't keep my hopes up.
If you want to reduce the heat that gets into any enclosed space, look into the double-sided foil with bubble wrap in the middle, sold at HD and Lowes. Line the entire inside of the enclosure with this stuff, even the floor and esp the roof. Good idea to remove windows and attach screening. Use the window reflectors for the windows, but do not use that stuff to line the enclosure - use the bubble foil.
Then get one or two of these and run 'em on batteries:
Is this the right stuff? They have different rolls of reflectix.
Yep, that's the right stuff!
The different sizes of rolls are for different areas that may need to be covered. If you are using it for the interior of a truck cap, I would think the 2' wide rolls would be easier to handle than the 4' wide rolls. Measure carefully to see how many rolls you'll need. It shouldn't cost too much for a truck. Use tape for it, not staples or glue. You want to be able to remove it neatly someday.
Don't lose faith. You will get a home again. Lots of people are facing hard times right now!
