What is *your* personal pet limit?

[Argranade]

I have had 20 birds a few times but most where wild babies I then let go.

I dont mind my number going up when we move I shall probably have 15 pets at the most but counting baby birds probably more.

Sorta depends on several factors.

I currently have 5 cats, I'd have to say I'm at my maximum, we did do alot of discussion and calculations when we added the latest cat to be sure we could provide for all of them.

However in the past I owned (at one time) 1 cat, 2 guinea pigs, and 4 fish = 7 pets; and could have provided for at least 1 additional cat or 1 additional guinea pig or several more fish.

Personally I believe that anyone's 'limit' is based on being able to provide:

1) Financially for all the animals (routine & emergency medical, spaying/neutering, housing, food, etc)
2) Space enough for all the animals without crowding
3) Time (playing, grooming, cleaning, feeding, daily health checks, etc)

The way I see it, if a person can't provide those 3 things for even ONE pet, then they are past their limit, and there are other people who can more than provide those 3 things for 15 or more animals. Depends on the individual situation of the human, and the care requirements for the particular pet.

for all pets i really don't know. it depends on the kinds of pets. my cat limit is probably 2 or 3. my dog limit depends on my living situation. in Nashville my limit was 2. here, i could easily house 6 dogs.

Welllllll...I would have to say 18 dogs (17 huskies and an ESS), a hedgie, and a few fish. Total, 24 pets. Now, that all depends upon my living condition, the hubby (which I pray to God will not have a problem), and of course the money and time conditions.

20+ I don't think there is a limit for me...

I had to mark "4-8" as I have 7 cats right now. I also have some fish, but they are really . . . to amuse the cats! Same with my birfeeders out the windows. Anyway, back to this poll - I never really intended to have 7, heck I never intended to have more than 3 or 4. But some how, one comes along and I just can't say NO !

I think as long as you can take care of the animal and carry it to the vet when it needs to be carried then it's ok to have as many animals as you want. We have 3 dogs, 3 cats, 10 ducks, 3 birds, 1 rabbit, 1 goat and some fish right now. But, I think as long as the animals get what they need then it's alright to haev as many as you want.
