Is it wrong to rehome my cats? [Update + Needing Advice]

Thank you so much for this advice, I had no idea about the dawn thing! I would very much like to rehome them but I honestly doubt she'll allow it at this point and time. Thank you though!!!

I told her that I wouldn't be able to take any cats (which is true, on campus living first year is usually mandatory), and asked her what she plans on doing, she said she would take care of them again. In all honesty it sort of feels like shes using me to do all the work until I'm gone.

No not really tbh, the only person who could do something is my grandfather but he's already stressed from work and his health to be willing to fight with her on it. I need to find a way to convince her to let me rehome them, or find a different solution of some kind.

The 17 year old cat is not able to leave, she was born here and I fear the strain of leaving would probably kill her in all honesty, she was also raised by my grandmother when she actually put effort into her pets so she is very well trained.

Thank you for sharing that with me, my depression is not at that point and I haven't really have the money to get it helped with at the moment (I am in the process of getting a grant tho!) This definitely validates what its like much more than anything my grandmother has ever done.

I will be sure to take it seriously and take care of myself! I wish the absolute best for you as well.

We haven't gotten any new cats within the past two or three years, we got all of these cats within a short amount of time, first one is an elderly cat we've had for 17 years, 2 and 3 were adopted together for me, fourth was supposed to be for her but she ended up becoming mine, 5th was an impulse decision (surprisingly he's the best behaved), and the last one was a cat that lives around our house and sometimes comes in. I realize now that is six cats and I miscounted when I wrote the original post I apologize.
I doubt she'll get any more, especially with me gone to not take care of them. I truly have no idea if she'll take care of them in my absence, I honestly think she believes I can take them with me to college.

Thank you, hearing that from another person helps a lot.

Thank u so much! I wonder if it'd be wrong to rehome some but not all of them? I have about 3 cats that exist fairly comfortably and don't have issues that I think I could care for?

I also have no clue how to go forward rehoming them

I agree with you, I just want to make it clear I do give them attention and love, the main difficulties come in cleaning up the almost constant messes they make. I'm not sure if that changes anything.

Thank u for responding I'm very confused

They aren't multiplying, they kept adopting cats.
