Getting Kicked Out... AND got another kitten... not by choice...PICS **

Katie,

My apt complex thinks I have 3 cats (the limit is two). I actually have 4, however, Shortie hides whenever someone comes over so she's never seen. The women that work in the management office are all cat people, so they don't care.

I can understand how your landlord would freak out, but if your place is spotless, then what's the problem?? Is there some way he'd allow you to sign something holding you responsible for any and all damages done by the cats??

I once hit the "double digits", but I was living in a 2 bedroom apartment at the time and the back bedroom served as a "foster" room. My landlord didn't care as long as I paid my rent. It was great!! I made sure my place was impeccable so he had nothing to complain about. I actually had an air purifier that helped as well.

Good luck finding another place.

I'm so sorry to hear this has happened Katie. I wish you and the cats the best of luck in finding new homes.

I'm sorry, Katie! Good luck finding another place to rent before you have to give up your own babies!

Did you try Best Friends Animal Sanctuary? It's unlikely they will take the cats in Utah, but they do maintain a network of rescuers and contacts around the country.

Their forum is huge and if you post there you might reach somebody who can really help. They have a section specifically for rescue where you list by state.

Good luck to you.

I know how you feel. I rent & its hard to find an place to rent that accepts pets. I think the reason why is that people once accepted pets then one person that had pets trashed the place & left it like that so the landlord no longer accepts pets. Thats why anyone that rents and owns an pet needs to leave the place spotless so that other people with pets like everyone on here can live there. I hope that you can find another place and find an home for some of your fosters.

Also, consider posting on CraigsList as soon as you read this. I found a very good home through CraigsList for kittens that I rescued last fall.

How do you know the cats would "be put down immediately?" I learned from working at my animal care and control that there are often misconceptions as to how things work.

Sorry to hear about ure predicament! I know how hard it is to find a place that allows pets. Down here, it is SOOOO Much easier if you have cats. Dogs on the other hand.. 'specially ones over 25lbs are a rarity.. Unless you have at least 300 dollers per pet for Dep.

Good luck!
