I'm planning to see whether I can find a lawyer who knows anything about how the city operates in this regard (I'm a non-practicing lawyer myself, but I don't know the ropes regarding city enforcement). Several of my friends are lawyers, but they don't practice in this area and don't know what I might do.Quote:

Even though it is a longshot, try Best Friends. Try your vet, try ALL vets!! Ask EVERY rescue group your can find. SOMEONE will be out there for them.

I'll post a separate thread about this as well, but if there's any way we can line up a transport between Denver and Allentown, PA, then Jen (bless you, Jen!) would be willing to add Angel to her foster room.
Anyone in Illinois? Ohio?
Why not contact the rep DIRECTLY - the link Doolittlekitty posted? The personal contact will be more effective, I think, even though the Animal Rescue does their best. YOU are the cat's OWNER (yes, I know who really owns who! :) )
And do your lawyer friends not know ANYONE who practices in the area you need?
Would the vet know? Shelters?
Just trying to think of ways to buy you time!
HUGS!
I have a bedroom where they can live until you can take them or we can find them other homes. However, I don't have the money to take care of them. I have a number of special needs cats and I'm about to dash out to the vet even now with one of them. Can you afford to cargo fly them to Seattle and help with their upkeep? I'm sorry that is all I can offer.
I just saw this...we rent and I don't think the landlord will let us have any more pets- plus we don't really have the room. However, I can help with some of the driving if you want from Denver, or I would be willing to donate some money if someone is willing to take the cats by having them flown in. If I can help you in any way, pm me and I'll give you my phone number. I'm sorry I can't take one of your cats, I know having to give them up is probably heart-breaking... :( I might be able to "house" one for a little while until someone can take them if they are ok with dogs. Let me know.
You folks are really wonderful. As of now, there's a possibility (thanks to Jadapit) that I'll be able to locate someone around Denver who can take them temporarily. If not, Dr. Goodnow has generously offered to look after them for awhile, as I'm planning to relocate to a town not far away from where she lives. So it looks like I'll be able to keep my sweeties out of the shelter and be able to reclaim them after I get out of Denver.
Pet Talkers are truly the best! Thank you all!
That's wonderful news. You must be extremely relieved.
Can anything be done to help the ferals that you were feeding? How many are there?
There aren't enough criminals in Denver, that they want to make you one!? What a stoopid rule.
I'm so sorry this is happening. :( After the way Denver rounded up and slaughtered the pit bulls, I'm not surprised....it's just not a pet-friendly place. :( I'm so glad you're getting some PT help for your little ones.
Do these people have nothing better to do!!!!
I have LES here just thinking about how hard this must be for you. I can't even imagine what you must be going through.
Thank you Jen, Jadapit and Dr, Goodnow for offering to help CatsinDenver in such a horrible situation.
Please keep us posted.
Found these links. Maybe you have already been to these links, but I didn't see anything about limits on numbers of pets or outdoor enclosures.

Don't be silly! This is what friends and PT are all about!
So many wonderful people here have helped us in the past, I am honored to help out with your babies! I am certain they will be happily awaiting their wonderful Moms' move out here!
Plus we get a chance to spoil them a bit to give them a happy welcome to Illinois!
We are always that phone call away, and ready whenever you need us!
