Grow up,
Get a Job
Pay rent.
Then you have a say in what happens in the house. Until then, sorry charlie!
Better yet, get your own place, then you can have all the pets you can afford.

Have a talk with your mom so she has a chance to explain why she decided to get rid of the cat. Sometimes grownups have to make difficult decisions for a variety of reasons. You will be better received if you "ask" rather than "tell", and pick the right time and place to ask. NO whining! Think about it beforehand and give her reasons why you think you should keep the cat. Stay calm, use a soft voice.
If you offer to do all the work for the cat, such as cleaning the litter box, feeding the cat and cleaning up after it that might help. You could offer to do the vacuuming because cats can cause a lot of hair. If you get an allowance you could set aside a portion of this allowance each week to take care of the cat's expenses. Or you could offer to do extra chores around the house, which most moms really like.
If she's getting rid of the cat because someone else in the house is allergic, then the cat must go. If she can't afford to keep the cat, then it must go. These are some of the difficult decisions adults have to make and you will need to understand this. That's part of growing up.
So maybe when you're making your own money and living in your own place you can get a cat again.

You don't say why she wants to get rid of kitty. You have to find out what the problem is. Stinky litter box? Change it more often. Shredded furniture, get a scratching post, a big piece of shag carpet or at last resort, declaw. Male cat? Is it neutered? No? Neuter. Female? Is she Spayed? No? Spay. Somebody not feeding or giving fresh water regularly? Your responsibility? Not doing it? Got to. Shedding hair? They love to be brushed. Anything I left out? Ask Mom and good luck. Just remember cats are sensitive creatures and must be treated gently. They aren't like dogs. Takes a lot of understanding to groove on catz.

Tell her that you love your cat so much and you can't live with out it, and why why why does it have to go!?!?!? And get really, really mad and then start to cry.
I am sure this is true, and not just a lie, I hope that was good.

Tell her not to. There. You've told her. Now it's up to your mom to decide whether you actually get to KEEP the cat or not.

BEG!! beg your parents to not take your favorite pet away. You can't live without him/her. So, what you do is like make easy promises, like i will clean the litter box every week, and give him/her a bath once a week also. And tell your parents that you can't live without "my kitten".

You forgot to say why . . .
Is someone allergic ?
Did you promise to care for it ? then go slacker ,
So someone else has to do it ?
Is it trashing the furniture ?
Is it urinating on everything ?
Need to know why here , and you omitted that . . .
