I can't believe the emotional support cat wasn't spayed! WTH?

Right? My dd is excited but the irresponsibility irks me.


That's because you're a jaded imbecile. Please don't let that run off on your daughter! Keep your annoyance to yourself.

We've done kittens here - with two young kids, one severely disabled, and a very very busy life and it was a great thing for everyone.

Jaded imbecile? Nice.

"Emotional support" animals are on our planes. Do they have to be in the dorms too? I am really not an animal hater, but don't want to live with them or sit on a plane with them.

Ummm the kittens won't sleep for long! Lol.

What a story! Hopefully the cat gets spayed now though.

Kittens are adorable but it is outrageously irresponsible that this "emotional support" cat isn't spayed. I'd lobby hard (to the point of shaming the roommate) on this one.

As for the kittens: someone needs to think RESPONSIBLY about finding them homes with people who will be there for the long term--not just till Christmas break or the summer.

That sounds like a really awesome experience. I bet the girls in her hall are all so excited.

How can the cat be a legitimate support animal when it has not even been spayed? That makes no sense at all. Not having been spayed indicates a lack of responsibility on the part of the owner and a lack of veterinary care.

So fun! What kind of crazy helicopter mom are you that you think this is a bad thing? What are you going to do next - call the university president to complain? Tip off the Humane Society about rabid cats??
Get a LIFE woman!!
Bring down some cat litter, extra blankets, treats , food, and some cat toys but otherwise stop interfering and judging

Really? You don’t see why six kittens in a college dorm (with no obvious places for homes once they are ready to leave mom) might be a little worrisome? Not that it’s OP’s problem to solve, but let’s be a little realistic.

Lack of responsibility of the school to not make sure all "support" animals are spayed/neutered

Support animals are totally unregulated.

I wouldn't have thought it necessary to tell a college about cat, dog, pig, bunny, sheep, whatever allergies, but I guess it is.

I love kittens, but I wouldn't enjoy live NG in a small room with a cat, a litterbox, and her offspring.

Animal generally not allowed in a dorm; you'd need an exception to have one.

Ugh my DD’s college has one dorm that allows cats. I asked her if she wanted to stay in a room with a litter box and she chose another dorm. I love pets but they are a huge responsibility. If you think a roommate who doesn’t clean out the fridge is a pain, imagine one who doesn’t clean the litter. That space must feel like a prison to the cat. Now every room in the hall will be expected to adopt one of those kittens. I would absolutely encourage your DD to switch rooms now. There will already be openings somewhere.

She had an accommodation with academic support services.

Did they ask your daughter before assigning her a room with a cat?
