From previous post I gather she lives in HUD subsidized housing it's just
not that easy to pick up and move when you are disabled and getting by on
very little. I know I've been there. I don't get why they will let her
only keep one of them if she was allowed to have both when her husband was
alive.

They will. They just haven't seen the light yet. "GRIEVING WIDOW
PRESSURED TO GIVE UP CAT."

I wouldn't wanna be Housing Mang if that story gets out in the
community.

I have brothers, Moe & Rudy, they've never been seperated
I got them at the SPCA.....Housing Mang doesn't like you have pets, but
I did the right w/the American Disabilities Act even has 2 doctor's
sign

Now Mang tells since my husband, Rick's died I can only have one of
them!

Rudy puts a paw on each shoulder and licks my face when I'm crying over
Rick's death

Moe lets hug as as I want when I'm crying

I can't pick just one! I guess the right thing will be to give them
both up together, they are good with kids school age, they have never
bitten or starched anyone

I can't give up my babies.

What is Housing Mang? Are you referring to a housing manager? I also
don't understand what diabetes or ADA has to do with keeping cats
(although ADA does stipulate that people with certain disabilities are
entitled to guide dogs). That said, is there any possible way that you
can move to another apartment? That would be the obvious solution -- give
up the apartment, not the pets.

MaryL

Don't give up either of those cats! This is beyond unfair.

If you need any help contacting a newspaper as others have said or
writing about it, I'd be glad to help. I cannot believe someone would do
this to you and the cats.

Maybe casually let the housing mang know that you may have to take this
to a higher level, so is there any way he wants to reconsider before you
this becomes a public issue.

Housing Mang is the person the runs this housing complex, an apartment
complex w/1,2, and 3 bdrm places....I don't where the diabetes part
came from, maybe I did a typo

I can't move, and she know its has me up a tree....my low income
forbides it
I can't get HUD or other rental assistance because of what my ex pulled
while we had section 8

In that case, how about the suggestions that some of the others had -- in
particular, a talk with your local newspaper because public housing managers
usually do not want any negative publicity, and it could be *very* negative
to read about a manager that requires a widow to give up one of her cats.
I'm so sorry to read about this.

I vote for going to the papers.....they're great for publicity like this..
Real human interest.

Absolutely...make sure you cry...lots. Heartless *******s like that deserve
all they get, and that's the whole idea of The Press.

I would start by simply refusing to give up one of the cats. No need
to go to the papers or take any action that could be seen as a threat,
until they start a legal process to evict you or remove one of the
cats.

If you simply draw a line, I think they will probably drop it because
they realize how bad it would look to the public or in a courtroom.

this is shaping up to be a bad episode of an after school special

or, a bad Brady Bunch episode

I agree though, Ensoul should just refuse, and force the chinese man to
take legal action
if anything, that will save Ensoul a 50 dollar filing fee

Do you have the option to move?
