I need to put 10 cats in boarding kennels

My wonderful boy passed away on the 11th of december, I'm absolutely devastated and completely heartbroken.After his awful trauma he went through before I found him 10 years ago he turned out to be such a sweet a gentle boy and welcomed any new arrivals.His best friend Patches is crying out and looking for him.I don't want to clean my coat that I wore,because it still has his hairs on it.I know in my head that he is out of his pain and suffering,but it still does not stop me from hurting.I can't stop crying,everything reminds me of him.I never thought by taking him to the vet that I would be coming home with a empty cat box. I really wanted to make ninelivesdiary to have a bit of information about me,my experiences and with humour,but I am so sad after this horrible experience,  its going to take a little bit of time of mourning until I can think straight again. I would like to go home to South Africa on the 7th of January to be with my mom and friends, I think a break would do me good, I haven't been home for almost 3 years. I have my flight sorted but I will need a bit of fundraising to put my 10 cats in a cattery for the 3 weeks that I am gone which will come to 1300 euros this includes the 3 weeks stay, the vaccinations,flea and deworming treatments.I need all the help I can get otherwise I cannot go, this donation is sincerely appreciated. There is a donations button on the home page,many thanks for reading this. Regards Karin
