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'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.

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.
