The reasons for abandoning or returning dogs or cats can be just crazy. I will never understand the dumping an animal because you're moving. We moved across state with our three cats and my parents ended up taking in the stray we had been helping. Long story short we took all 4 to my parents for about 2 months while I sold our old house and we moved to the townhouse we rented. Our three would not accept the stray, but my mom's cat had no problem accepting him, so he stayed with my parents who are very happy to have him there. The place we rented the company we rented through has a two pet limit, but with approval you can have more pets in one of their rentals. They called and talked to the owner who said we could have our three cats in her place. She didn't mind at all.
