I went to the local cat shelter to see about volunteering. So many kittys with no home. I want to help one out so bad. I filled out the application. The only problem is that I have to pay a 300.00$ pet deposit fee where I live. They do inspections so I could not hide the kitty. The manager said if I get a smaller caged pet that the deposit is only 50.00$ I thought about getting a hampster but dont know how to care for them at all. I had kittys in the past. Plus I have to bring up the pet issue to my husband. He will take some convincing but I think I will eventually get him to see my side.

Can they split the pet deposit? My apartments split it for me when I moved in so that I didn't have to pay the whole chunk at once. Maybe the could do that?

I love having my cat, I've had him for 17 years. I can't imagine life without cats! Last night I wasn't feeling good and I was crying a bit and he's so protective, he jumped up on my bed and licked the tears on my face. He's my baby!

I hope your husband understands! We just got a second kitty for our cat... she's not too thrilled at the moment. And yes pet deposits can be SUPER expensive. My apartment had a 200 refundable deposit AND an additional 250 non refundable deposit, in addition to an additional $20.00 added to our rent for montly pet rent!
