It's a horrible decision. I'm keeping the ones whom I think need me the most. But it will just about kill me to let these four go.

what if you got a lawyer? seems to me animal control isn't floowoing the rules but breaking them and threatening you and itimatidating you in the meantime.

I'm planning to see whether I can find a lawyer who knows anything about how the city operates in this regard (I'm a non-practicing lawyer myself, but I don't know the ropes regarding city enforcement). Several of my friends are lawyers, but they don't practice in this area and don't know what I might do.

OMG!!!! I wish I had a miracle for you.

This has to be the most horrible situation EVER!!! I am not even close enough to you to know anyone who could help.

I doubt you could get one to PA. I would take Angel in a heartbeat.
Even though it is a longshot, try Best Friends. Try your vet, try ALL vets!! Ask EVERY rescue group your can find. SOMEONE will be out there for them.

I'll post a separate thread about this as well, but if there's any way we can line up a transport between Denver and Allentown, PA, then Jen (bless you, Jen!) would be willing to add Angel to her foster room.

Anyone in Illinois? Ohio?

Why not contact the rep DIRECTLY - the link Doolittlekitty posted? The personal contact will be more effective, I think, even though the Animal Rescue does their best. YOU are the cat's OWNER (yes, I know who really owns who!

)

And do your lawyer friends not know ANYONE who practices in the area you need?

Would the vet know? Shelters?

Just trying to think of ways to buy you time!

HUGS!

I have a bedroom where they can live until you can take them or we can find them other homes. However, I don't have the money to take care of them. I have a number of special needs cats and I'm about to dash out to the vet even now with one of them. Can you afford to cargo fly them to Seattle and help with their upkeep? I'm sorry that is all I can offer.

I just saw this...we rent and I don't think the landlord will let us have any more pets- plus we don't really have the room. However, I can help with some of the driving if you want from Denver, or I would be willing to donate some money if someone is willing to take the cats by having them flown in. If I can help you in any way, pm me and I'll give you my phone number. I'm sorry I can't take one of your cats, I know having to give them up is probably heart-breaking...

I might be able to "house" one for a little while until someone can take them if they are ok with dogs. Let me know.

Gosh, I wish I could help . . . what an intolerable situation, and Denver sounds like a most UN-friendly cat city.

If you have friends that could take the cats temporarily, that would be one way around it, eh?!

Just long enough so that when the inspectors come and see that you have relinquished the required number of cats, they will be satisfied and leave you alone. Then, you can bring the loaned out kitties back home . . . sounds like a plan to me.

I wish you the best of luck, and hope that you can keep ALL of your children. What an agonizing task to have to pick and choose.

A loving home is not easy to come by for so many cats out there . . . poor babies.
