Hi everyone!
I need some advice…My family owns an apartment complex that I live and work at, and my downstairs neighbor has 2 cats that he got as kittens. We don’t allow kittens at the complex, but we let his slide. However, the kittens became of mature age quickly, and they had their 1st litter of 4/5 kittens a few months ago.
We told him the kittens had to go and that it couldn’t happen again, but I’ve noticed the female getting round and her nipples looking very noticeable once again. I don’t want to evict the man because he’s a sweet, older war vet, but these kittens can’t keep happening for our sake and the kittens! He’s not even home a lot to help with socializing them either. The whole situation is extremely irresponsible to me.
My question is: How do we ensure this won’t keep happening? Do we force him to get rid of his cats? Force him to spay/neuter? What’s going to happen to these new kittens?
I don’t have a super great relationship with him (we are friendly though), but I thought about talking to him and seeing if I could take them, foster them, and then have a shelter adopt them out and give him a cheap/free spay, but that’s all dependent on a shelter working with me…I did recently start fostering with a local shelter, but I don’t have a large rapport with them either.
Any suggestions?
