OMG!!!! I wish I had a miracle for you.This has to be the most horrible situation EVER!!! I am not even close enough to you to know anyone who could help.
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?

Gosh, I wish I could help . . . what an intolerable situation, and Denver sounds like a most UN-friendly cat city.
If you have friends that could take the cats temporarily, that would be one way around it, eh?!Just long enough so that when the inspectors come and see that you have relinquished the required number of cats, they will be satisfied and leave you alone. Then, you can bring the loaned out kitties back home . . . sounds like a plan to me.
I wish you the best of luck, and hope that you can keep ALL of your children. What an agonizing task to have to pick and choose.

catsindenver -- where in Illinois do you expect to land, and do you know approximately when?
Oops, never mind, I obviously didn't read what Dr. G. already wrote:

Penny contacted me this AM and she will be bringing her kids here this Saturday for me to babysit, while she gets her other things taken care of, they are welcome to stay as she needs them to.
I am praying that with this one stress off her, things will go smoothly from here!
Praying for peace in the Middle East, Ukraine, and around the world.
I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!
Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!

I hope someone with a good heart - maybe one of the zoning lawyers - can help with the feral colony?
OR - go to the media AFTER you move! LOL Good luck moving!

I'm looking at places in and around a small town south of Springfield. It's where I grew up and where my parents and sister still live.As for when, as soon as I can find a house. Within the next couple of months, I hope.

Dr. Goodnow, you are like a breath of fresh air my dear.
How very kind of you to be able to take in CID's precious babies for her until she is able to move there and how lucky that CID will be able to meet her Guardian Angel.
This is such great news to a terrible situation.

Well, another zoning officer showed up at my door yesterday and wanted to do an inspection. She appeared to agree to the same two-week period that Animal Control gave me. But then she called my landlord and told him that the city has me "profiled" as a literal crazy cat lady--a middle-aged, psychologically disturbed female with dozens of cats.
She also told him--and here's the terrifying part--that when they finally get into my house, they plan to count the cats by putting them in cages--and then they'll take them away! Apparently it doesn't matter if I only have five. They're actively planning to remove all of my cats.
I'll be taking four to Dr. Goodnow this weekend. But now, it seems, I need to find places for the remaining five. I can't risk having them in the house as long as the city is running beserk.
I'm also going to work on filing a federal discrimination action, but right now I'm frantic with worry. So I guess I'm back to begging for more foster homes, both here (the only place I've found any help--thank you!) and among my other friends.

Totally TOTALLY unbelievable!!!
PA is still a long way from Illinois, but maybe we can still coordinate a transport from there.

Bless you, Jen! I'll see whether I can work something out.Totally TOTALLY unbelievable!!!

I'm also going to look into boarding two or three for a month, but I know I can't afford to board them all.

OMG - please get a lawyer and at least stay the action!
Sheesh...do they want a note from your doctor as well???
How is your landlord with you? Would he testify on your behalf?
HUGS!!!!

I've made arrangements for three so far (in addition to the four I'll be taking to Dr. Goodnow)--just two more!

Would your vet keep them for a few days until you could get the cats out of town?
I did find the 5 cat max in the zoning codes.
Do you think someone made a complaint in your neighborhood?
God speed.
