I understand to a point where you're coming from. For us it was finding a place that would allow 3 cats. Most have a strict 2 pet policy. We were fortunate to find a rental company that has a two pet policy, but allows owners to make exceptions to that if they choose to. The owner of the townhouse we rented allowed us to have all 3 of our cats there. Basically what she said was that 3 cats really aren't that different from 2 and they are all adults so she didn't mind at all. The 4th cat we had is now happily living with my parents. (He was a stray that showed up and wouldn't leave so he became ours. However our 3 female cats hated him, so having him move with us was going to be difficult at best. We were lucky that my parents like him and my mom's cat doesn't mind him being there). Who knew having more than 2 pets was going to be a problem when moving. Guess I really don't have any advise. Sorry.
