If you will follow the links that I posted, you will see that there are no limitations on number of animals that you may keep or on outdoor enclosures. One of the links is Denver's own Animal Control Website.

I'm so sorry you are going through this. It is frustrating to say the least when fighting government that is out of control.

I think a lawyer would find those links very interesting - please, CID, can you get something happening with that while finding foster places for your babies?

HUGS!

I believe that the limit on number of cats is buried somewhere in the zoning code rather than in the Animal Control code. There's definitely a five-cat limit, unfortunately. And if you feed ferals or strays, even if they never come in your house, the city treats them as "your" cats for purposes of the limit.

I'm going to call the local bar association tomorrow to see whether they can recommend anyone who has experience dealing with the city on these sorts of things. I know from my own past experience as a lawyer dealing with officials in other cities that city bureaucrats do pretty much whatever they want, knowing that most of the time their target won't want to spend a ton of money to bring a court action (or won't have a ton of money to spend).

I googled zoning lawyers in Denver and here is a whole list of them.
I would try and call one of them and see what they said

CID, my heart breaks for you. Being in an apartment, I'm at my limit, but I can offer my services in the way of a transport if any of them were to come through MI, or in the way of a donation to fly them to a temp or permanent home. *HUGS*

If you are looking for a lawyer you might want to try contacting the law school. Most law schools will have a "free" or reduced price law clinic where the students do the work and the faculty supervise. They might be interested in taking on this case because it is a little different and a local matter.

Sadly, this isn't really something that law students (or faculty, for that matter) are well-equipped to handle. I know that because I used to teach law students. It's a situation where I need to find a "connected" lawyer who knows which city doors to knock on--or how to get an injunction quickly if it really comes to that. I'm working on finding someone.

Good luck CID. I hope that you are able to find someone to help you with this terrible situation.
Prayers still on the way for you and your babies.

Penny contacted me this AM and she will be bringing here 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!

A load off of everyone's mind. Thank heavens.
