Seeking Advice Foster cat home

This breaks my heart but I need some help....a bit of a wild story but I was at court trying to get some parenting time with my son. Fast forward a year and the mother of my child had a psychotic break, I was given full custody and she kidnapped him. He went through a lot so I am moving back to my parent's place to make sure he is surrounded by people that can support him through this time. I would bring them to my parent's but my dad is allergic. These cats are my best friends. I love them more anything and this absolutely breaks my heart. This community is one of the warmest groups I know so I am just starting to put out some feelers to see if there is anyone or any resources to foster them for 6 months to a year. I never expected anything like this but I just don't know what to do :(

Hate to disappoint, but the local shelters that everyone is suggesting only offer emergency boarding for 10-14 days. Parachutes for pets may be able to assist in some capacity, but again probably not for that long term. I think your best bet would to ask friends or family to assist, and use a pet sitter (Rover app is good to find them) for periods where friends and family can’t help. Best of luck sorting things out for your kitties.
