Can't find a cat friendly apt that allows more than one cat

Okay so far every place I've tried to move or have moved and hid my furry loved ones has a pet policy of one cat and a $400+ non refundable fee. And sometimes additional deposit. Why do ppl hate cats so much? And why do I have to suffer for loving them? Even my family has come to the point of telling me to get rid of them so I can live in nice places. But how can you abandon something you raised from a kitten or in my case a few of them I saved and force fed as kittens so they could live. The thought of letting someone else care for them scares me.so that's a no

I know what you are going through. When I had 4 cats, I had a very hard time finding a landlord who would rent to me and finally had to rent through a private person rather than an apartment complex. Until that point the stress was awful since I felt like you do about giving up my babies. It seemed like the ultimate betrayal. Now I only have two and have been very lucky in finding an apartment that allows two with a $100 deposit, total. I hope you can find a place. My heart goes out to you - this is a terrible problem.
