I think it depends on your local community's laws. In my home community there is a three cat limit, but I don't think it's strictly enforced. Purrley, in Utah, had a nasty experience with her local condo association limits. You may want to check your lease if you are renting.

Good luck. I THINK (warning: just guessing here) almost all communities allow you a litter of kittens while you are taming them and looking for homes ...

Oh, Tiger just sounds young and scared to me. You might want to sit in a room with him, quietly (maybe reading, meditating, writing, whatever quiet activity you enjoy) and let him approach you. Perhaps a cat toy that works at a distance like feathers on a string on a stick, once he starts approaching you? This could take some time, but it's got a higher success rate with shy cats than approaching them. Good luck!
