Hi everyone. I wanted to offer an (unsatisfying) update. Animal control did end up conducting a wellness check on the cat at my ex-roommate’s parent’s house. For some reason the parents didn’t tell him, so we didn’t have to suffer the tantrum that would have soon followed when he found out. My...
In the state we live in neglect or failure to provide basic needs for an animal for which you are legally responsible falls under animal cruelty and is subject to $500-2000 in fines or 90 days imprisonment.
Another quick update: I spoke to the animal control officer who is investigating this case yesterday. she was very receptive/concerned and agreed that he should not own an animal. She said she would conduct the wellness check this week and try to talk some sense into the parents & present them...
Thank you ): it’s been really heartbreaking but the support helps a lot. I just want to know that she’ll be well cared for and loved. Who knew it would be such a struggle
Another thing I plan on expressing to the animal control officer is his pattern aggression and how it has worsened over time, how he has said to me he “didn’t care if she lived or died” when he picked her up when she escaped during the 4 months she was living with him by himself & she scratched...
I have her medicine with me so I’m certain she’s not getting it. I expressed to the shelter that the moment he moves into his new apartment he will take the cat back and they said they would make it known to everyone involved (he and the parents) that they’re aware his apartment won’t allow pets...
Hi all, thank you so much for the concern. I do want to let everyone know that my partner and I are staying with a friend until we are able to pack our things and move out next week.
Cat update: when we woke up on Sunday morning the cat and the roommate were both gone. A friend of mine told me...
we are being as careful as possible handling this while also being conscious of our own safety. We are waiting to file the spca complains until after we move in 9 days and have been speaking with the shelter he adopted her from and explained the situation in detail. He’s gotten angry and punched...
Well my misogynist roommate and I got in a huge, very hostile argument about a month ago that resulted in my partner and I terminating our portion of our upcoming lease. We had planned to be as civil as possible with him until the end of our currently lease so we could eventually offer him a...
We have another year living together, at the end of that lease my boyfriend and I will likely just tell him we want to do our own thing & get our own place.
That’s one of the problems is he does LIKE the cat and tries sometimes to engage with her. I don’t think he’s even considered it an option in his brain that I should have her because I’m the one who takes care of her and the one she’s comfortable with.
Hi all, last year my (25M) roommate adopted a cat. She was about 3, and he described her as being extremely shy and skittish during her time living alone with him. He had her for about 4 months until he moved into our apartment. I love cats and took to her very quickly, going out of my way to...
