My mother and many other seniors live in a mobile home park that has recently changed ownership. The new owners, whom I won't name at this time, have implemented a $10 per month charge for these little old ladies indoor cats. These are not apartments, or other "owned by others" rental units. They are mobile homes that these ladies pay for and some would consider private property. The cats have no contact whatsoever with the common areas or lots that are rented. They do not charge for hamsters, guinea pigs, birds, or other pets that do not leave the house. I, and everyone I speak with, consider this stealing from old folks. These cats are their only source of companionship, and they are all on fixed incomes. We need help, as this huge management firm has all the lawyers lined up to plead some nonsense about treating all pet owners fairly, but if you can show me something fair about this, I'm all ears.
I am urging any one who knows a senior in a similar position, or who simply cares about our most vulnerable citizens, to please contact your state representative and urge that something be done about this travesty.
