apartment livers

For those of you who live in apartments and have cats, did they say they have to have them declawed? My husband is/was going to take Gizmo & Scooter, and he asked them. They told him they have to be spayed/neutured, and all cats must be declawed! He wants to know if they come into the apartment and check? I told him my guess is that they would want vet records.

Just need to know a simple answer... not asking to start a debate or anything.

Some do, some don't. I've always just made sure that wasn't in the rental agreement before we moved in, but that may not help you much in this situation...

The complex I live in only restricts the number and size of pets. I've never heard of them requiring things so specific! Good luck!

My apartment complex does that too.

That was a requirement in our complex, no kittens, no claws.

Fortunately for us, Adelaide was an older girl who had been declawed by a previous owner, so no problem.

However, Berylayn (Beryl) lives in the same complex as us and she had to beg and plead for Ebony to come in tact--but it worked!

No restrictions where we live. All three of our boys have their claws (and Marshy did as well while he was alive).

Our complex requires that cats be spayed/neutered. (Don't know how they could enforce it though...must be the honor system.) The lease says they must also be declawed, but it was lined through before we even got there to sign the papers. Apparently that was an old rule and the property owners know that it's a cruel thing to do, so they don't require it. However, I know there are other complexes in the area that do require it.

No restriction....only needed to prove they had their rabies shots.

I've heard of that, actually I lived that, then paid the price. My cats were supposed to be, as per the rental agreement, I decided against it. The furbabes also decided to scratch the corners of the drywall....eek!
So much for what they don't know won't hurt them.....

That's funny Malakai, my friend's apartment has a no pet policy, but in Ontario, she found out a landlord cannot have a policy like that for companion animals. So, she got 2!

I had to hide Baylee at my apartment and right now we're hiding both her and Max at my fiance's... can't afford the ridiculous pet deposits. But neither required declawing. Now at MY apartment they required proof of age and vaccinations - they didn't allow pets under the age of 1.

Mine doesn't require declawing either. But there is a restriction on what type of pets you have and they have to be well-trained and on-lead if let out.

I am so myopic when I read things sometimes! I was looking at the Board and I thought, "why is somebody writing about liver in an apartment? what about eating liver???"

Elizabeth, you're funny!

My landlords were relieved that Sierra wasn't a kitten.They asked if she scratched furniture or sometimes went outside her litter box, to which I said no, of course! They then required a deposit for her to be here with me.

Any one for liver?

Sure Stephanie ... I love liver and onions !!



oops... Back on topic now

Nope, I can pack as many kits in here, at any age, with claws as I like and it is allowed AS LONG AS it doesn't disturb any other tenants! Saying that, our landlady loves animals and if she thinks a cat is being hurt by the tenants or living conditions she WILL call the SPCA!

I do though have to pay $100 per cat (one time fee) that is fortunately is refundable if the damage caused by each cat doesn't go over when we move~
