need a lawyer who is also a cat lover to answer. long story short
a year ago I had to move and couldn't find a place that allowed cats(finally found a apt that's very small but I can have a pet and have a great landlord) found a forster for the cat. she decided she wants to keep him and wont give him back what do I do
can I go to court to get him or will I lose? I am so upset I keep looking at a cat to adopt but I gothim he was 11 months and he is now 5. she wont return any texts or emails.
Answer
Did you sign any paperwork with the foster? If yes, those documents most likely contain the answer. If it was a simple "hand shake" agreement, the Small Claims court can order the foster to return the cat based on a claim of specific performance--that is--if you prove to the Judge that both sides understood that you had no intentions of permanently relinquishing the cat.
Hope this helps.
