They made me get rid of Tess

[purrley]

Tess is gone and I wouldn't trust anyone with my cats.

Oh Lord!!! What a shock! Do keep us informed...

I'm so sorry. I hope that something turns up in your favor. Poor Tess! I feel so bad!

Oh Purrley, I was so ticked off when I read your post Why can't people mind their own business, you know?? Especially since all of your animals are well taken care of and are inside. It just frosts my cookies that just because you turned in someone for abusing his dogs(which is a very good reason to do so!)...that he and the annoying neighbor would turn you in because of....what??? Taking care of your animals!! I really do think it stinks when complexes limit the number of animals you can keep...and in some circumstances I can understand that. But 4 cats and a really small dog don't seem like that big of a deal to keep in a townhome. Especially since they are well taken care of and you have the means to provide for them all. I am so steamed I can hardly see straight. I really hope you can find a different place to live. Get on the internet and look for some pet-friendly rentals. I've been looking at my online newspaper for myself and have found it a useful place to look. You may also want to check craigslist.org. I know I have seen a list of pet friendly locations and rentals before on the internet, so I'll look for it and send it to you also. That may be an option for you for awhile. I just would not like to be surrounded by nosy busy-bodies that have nothing better to do then cause trouble for you. It annoys me that so many people and places can't see the benefits of having furbabies, and makes it difficult on those of us that need and want them in our lives. **hugs** I am keeping you and your precious fur-family in my thoughts and prayers

How is Tess gone? The woman rehomed her already? You're not going to ask for her back? If I were you, I'd call the lady and get the dog back by any means possible.

I wouldn't trust anyone with my cat either, but if it came down to it and it was the only thing I could do to keep her, I'd have to do it.

man this sucks. Hopefully you'll be able to work things out soon, and find some way of getting Tess back. Just remember you have something that those people who complained don't and that's animals that love you.

I am so, so sorry. What a terrible thing to have happen I hope all goes well in the end and you can somehow get Tess back. That's absolutely terrible.

[ilovehounds]

Im so sorry this has happened to you, but I agree with Aly 100% I would die for my babies and if fostering them for a short time was what I had to do to keep them I woudn't think twice. I would try and get Tess back and foster them.

Oh Purrley, I am speechless! And so very sad for you I hope that you might find someone to care for some of your babies while you arrange a move. And of course, I hope and pray that you and little Tess will be reunited very soon. Do you think the woman will "hold" her for you?? I would call her right away before she rehomes her!! Maybe you could pay a nominal boarding fee while you arrange your sale and perhaps find a permanent foster home for the kids until you are situated? I am heartsick!

[shais_mom]

I will keep you in my thoughts and hope you can get this resolved. I also hope you can get Tess back.
This is just awful! My heart breaks for you.

Purrley,

I am so sorry to hear about Tess.. What a hateful
group (condo association) you have to live with!!!

I think your commitment to Tess supercedes any Condo
rules. Sounds like they won't give up until they willow down
your pets until you have the one or two they will accept.

I am so sorry for what they are putting you through
right now !!! I really don't think I could ever live peacefully
in a enviroment like that without harboring a very deep
resentment about my so-called "neighbors".

You & Tess & Kitties are in my thoughts and prayers...

[sammi]

Purrley, How awful!!! I will pray that you can find a temp home for your cats and also that you can get Tess back when your ready. I hope you sell your townhouse to some real rowdy people and they drive your so called neighbors nuts.

This is really terrible thing to happen I can't even imagine how you are handeling it. In the end you will win and things will turn for the better so keep that in mind.

[purrley]

Thanks all for your kindness. I took yesterday off so I just now read the posts from yesterday - I hadn't eaten or slept for 2 days and I was exhausted. I've decided to stand my ground against the Board and keep all my family in tact until I decide that moving would be the best thing to do. Turns out that the whole condo community is pissed off about this whole thing - I'm not the only one by all means so maybe this will just blow over. The lady who has Tess is a relative of my son in law (sister) and she said she'll hang onto Tess as long as she can - till I can sort this all out so there's hope that I may be able to bring her back. Thanks again everyone for your encouragement and kind words - it sure does help in such a devastating time.

I'm glad to hear you're not the only one who's pissed off there, and as you said, hopefully the situation will just go away. I sure hope from the bottom of my heart that you can keep your cats with you, and have Tess back too!

The same goes for me. Couldn't you get together with the other people who are clearly annoyed by this whole thing and confront the board?
