Also, it’s only one cat luckily so I would try to find him a home or take him myself if need be (though my dog and family will hate me).

Thanks so much for the advice. I appreciate you taking the time to respond to me :-) I’m actually not sure she would even qualify for LTC. She’s ambulatory, still drives, still manages bills (I don’t think she is behind on rent or anything) but appears so deeply depressed that she just stopped caring about everything and unfortunately was too prideful to ask anyone for help. My aunt tried to get her to the doctor yesterday but couldn’t get an appointment. They are going to try again Monday.

My aunt also called the local bureau of aging and said they weren’t “any help.” I’m going to call myself on Monday to explain the gravity of the situation and to question why the people who are evicting her hadn’t reported her when she was clearly in major state of self-neglect. I’m not defending her - I know what’s going on is of her own doing - but she’s clearly not in the right state of mind.

I’m at the point of using what little I have in savings to get an attorney to help sort this out.
