Please help! Must find homes immediately for four cats! UPDATE

how about contacting the mayor or some other city official and explain the situation and that you will be moviing and taking your cats with you etc. Maybe that would help. I googled it and found this page. One elected offical has her picture with her cat and dog. I would think she would be sympathic to your situation and might know how to help you.

I've had animal rescue people speaking to city officials on my behalf, but it hasn't done any good. I've tried to get a message through to the head of Animal Control, and I'll try again Monday, but underlings intercept the messages and won't forward them.

At this point, I'm worried that if I antagonize the Animal Control people too much, they'll find an excuse to remove all of my cats. As it is, they're making up the rules as they go along--the ordinance that I was ordered to comply with doesn't have anything to do with indoor cats, and they're insisting that they can perform a warrantless search of my house in connection with a criminal matter, which is blatantly unconstitutional. But I'm nobody with no political leverage, so I don't have many options.
