$1000 for a pet deposit is definitely not normal. And with this pet-friendly city we live in, it blows my mind that you could not find somewhere with a more reasonable pet deposit – even if it was a short-term lease or not your dream home. I don’t think you should live on the streets just so you can keep your cat, but I have a hard time believing those were your only two options.
If they truly were your only two options, then I’m sorry if I came off as harsh – I guess too many years in rescue cleaning up other peoples’ messes has left me with little faith in humanity.
I still stand by my original suggestion to let the Humane Society or PAWS take care of rehoming your cat. I wish you the best of luck.
