Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
Always, the sooner you get someone showing the signs of stroke to the hospital the better. I think two tests are asking tgey stick out their tongue and asking them to raise their arms over their head.
Don't feel bad. We used to meet a couple every week at a fast food restaurant. One week they were late and when they showed up she said he had fallen asleep at the table and then fell while getting up. (He suffered from Narcolepsy) She went to get their food and he sat down to talk to us. He was a slow talker anyway but seemed to be slurring a little bit. He wore glasses but I noted his eye was a tiny bit droopy. She came back and we had already eaten, so left. I told my DH when we got to the car I think he had a stroke but didn't go back and tell the wife what I thought. I found out later that when she got back to the table, it was more prevalent he was having a stroke and he was taken to the hospital. My first time seeing a stroke so I did not trust my instincts.
Call 911. This is a medical emergency. That is the priority now. Write us back when you get the diagnosis, prognosis, and how long your Mom may be in care, and we can discuss cats. This is a step at a time but stroke is an emergency, and can best be treated in the first hours after it occurs. CALL RIGHT NOW.
Yes you call 911. That should have been done yesterday as there are drugs that if given within 3 hours of having a stroke can greatly reduce and even reverse the side effects of a stroke. She may also have a bad UTI as that can cause confusion as well. Get her to the hospital ASAP. And then you can worry about the cats.
You can call 911 or you can drive her to the ER. If she's resistant to going in for help, then definitely call 911. If you are her PoA please make sure to take all the documents with you to the hospital so they can put that info in your Mom's records.
Depending on her state of residence, the animal shelters and Humane Societies are chock full of animals. If they are full, call Animal Control. Re-homing the cats will take a while, as was my experience in south FL recently for one 11-yr old cat. All the no-kill shelters in proximity were full. You may need to appeal for temporary help from her neighbors until they can get placed.
CTTN55, I find it interesting that you're more concerned about the 10 cats than you are the poor mother in this situation. Things that make you go hmmm........
