If you wo...Email to Kathy Davis from Mary Cummins,<br /><br />If you would increase the cat limit, I'm sure Muzika would adopt more. So would a lot of other people. If you increased the limit just to five, you could save thousands of lives. The limit in Beverly Hills was six. Now because LA is servicing the City, the limit is now three? I'm at the limit so I can't adopt any more either. What's ironic is that when I was in the City I could have had as many bobcats as I had legal cages but I could only have three domestic cats. The laws don't make much sense. They should be based on ability to care. Plus, rescue groups should be able to get indoor cat kennel permits in residential zones. I'm sure all New Hope partners and fosters are over the legal limit yet the City wants them to take more animals, gives them more animals. In these tough times we really need the limit raised and indoor cat kennel permits for rescuers in residential zones. <br /><br />Mary Cummins<br />www.AnimalAdvocates.usAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
