The S/O and I rent and are planning on moving in a few months. I've already started looking around to find cat friendly rentals, and I came across this awesome complex in the same city I'm in now...
In our price range: check
Accepts cats: check
Decent pet deposit: check
Then I get to the bottom of the website and discover that all cats MUST be declawed prior to moving in. Oh hell no! I know a lot of places require cats to be declawed, but I think it's complete BS!
Thank you for not subjecting your cat to this. Some cats start urinating outside the box after they are declawed, I wonder which the landlord would prefer, a few scratch marks, or cat pee? Idiots.

Declawing is nothing more than mutilation for convenience! That a place would not only condone animal abuse but insist upon it is unbelievable! Thank you for not giving in!
I'll do anything for my babies, even if it means passing up nicer places because of stupid rules like that! They shouldn't allow pets at all if they have that attitude.

Thats why I'm going to wait on rental until after the cats die ( if I ever can prove I can live in an Apartment and not a group home) Declawing requirements are sadly very common in rental suitations, one of the reasons why people who rent probably shouldnt have cats IMHO.
we got lucky. we rented for 6 months or so before moving here and the LL was too busy with the house/ect to worry about declawing cats. She was ignorent of it though.

I didn't know group homes allowed pets. Do you have a room there or a small apartment?
I don't think renters shouldn't have cats. Not all renters are irresponsible! We just have to make some sacrifices for our pets, which isn't a problem for me. Like I said, I'll do anything for my babies. There are plenty of rentals around here that accept cats without having to de-claw, and I made sure of that before I adopted M and G. This wasn't a snap decision or anything.
