    Melly, I've talked to a friend who is still involved in WA and she tells me that her experience is that any general rescue may be able to help via their network of volunteers and fosterers. She works with housing and homelessness,and knows that’s the route that she and her and colleagues have gone in the past when there was an urgent need to get someone with pets to safety.
    However, local authorities may work with landlords who can provide a house/flat on a temporary basis for people threatened with homelessness. Some will accept pets. Organisations like WA can then provide outreach support (often called ‘Floating Support’).    You are going to have to be prepared to sit on the phone for some time, Melly, so make sure your phone is fully charged. xx

    Melly I am so sorry you had to leave the animals, I know it's not what you wanted.
    From that I know you must have been desperate so please don't be too hard on yourself about it. 
    Well done for leaving, it must have been so difficult but you broke free and did it.

    Hi Melly
    +1 to what KxMx says.
    You can't help your pets until you are safe and settled yourself.

    I'm at a mates house so I am safe. 
    One of the things WA have said is I need to learn to let this go. 
    Focus on where I am going and what I'm going to do.
    Use mental floss to get the other stuff out of my head
