Gary,

I'm very sorry to hear that this is happening to you and hope that things will work out. Gary and I are both from Hamilton and our city has a strict by-law about the number of pets you can have. They only allow two, though many people have more than two pets. My neighbour had more than two pets in her apartment and one of the tenants complained. That is how my mom and I ended up adopting Snowball and Rocky. I know that the law is meant to protect animals from owners who don't get their cats fixed and who end up with 60 cats like one stupid person in Hamilton did a few years ago. But in Gary's case his cats are fixed and well looked after, but the law makes no distinction.

Hopefully letters from Animal Welfare and Gary's veterinarian will be enough to sway the powers who be at city hall and the HSPCA.
