In Ontario, the NoPets thing is now illegal by precedent set by the owners
of a cat named Fluffy. I *believe* the precedent comes from a Supreme Court
of Ontario decision in 1996. An elderly couple moved from their house (empty
nesters) and brought their cat along. For a number of years nobody knew they
had a cat (no smell or noise) and then he got out. The neighbours went
ballistic and the landlord threw them out. They went to court, lower court
sided with the landlord. They appealed, and Supreme Court overturned the
decision because they had the cat for years, he was family, and there were
no complaints by the neighbours.

Why can't she find a place that does accept cats? Has she had this cat 14
years?

It just blows my mind to see people disowning their pets just because some
landlord will not allow them. There are a lot of people who will accept
and
totally understand that family pets are indeed a part of a family! It's
just
like giving your own child up for adoption, in my eyes! I can only imagine
what that poor old thing will be thinking when her owner hands her over to
a
total stranger, never to see her again and then have no familar face with
her in last days of life! Yes, animals do get depressed...stress on her
old
poor heart, I don't see her lasting too long once she has been given away!

It's good that you are at least trying to find a good home for her..But be
careful, there are a lot of people out there who will take animals with
good
intensions but then have other cruel plans for them. Especially people
from
the internet! Elderly people are great companions for cats, try posting up
posters in retirement areas or shopping centers.

I hope you find someone to care for her.
Living in Canada and already owning 5 cats myself, I would have taken her
or
at least have tried to helping you out if I was in that area but
unfortunately I'm not.
I rescue stray cats in my spare time, so I know how you feel about wanting
to find a good home for her.

Good Luck!

...in their hearts and homes for a 14 yr old female cat? She's in need
of
a
new home since her owner is moving to a place that won't allow cats.
Yes,
I'm FURIOUS about this, but I am doing my darndest to find a forever
home
for the cat, since she needs love & attention, and to feel that she
won't
be
dumped again - ESPECIALLY this late in her life.

Thanks muchly,
Corinne

PS...she's in New England, and I'm willing to transport her pretty much
anywhere within a day's drive, pending approval.
