    I want to adopt my roommate’s cat

    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...

    I want to adopt my roommate’s cat

    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 want to adopt my roommate’s cat

    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...

    I want to adopt my roommate’s cat

    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.

    I want to adopt my roommate’s cat

    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...

    I want to adopt my roommate’s cat

    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...

    I want to adopt my roommate’s cat

    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.

    I want to adopt my roommate’s cat

    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.

    I want to adopt my roommate’s cat

    I was thinking of trying to offer him money for her, I think he would at least consider it at that point.

    I want to adopt my roommate’s cat

    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...
