Can I take legal action to get my kitten back?

I had a girl come into my home and agree to foster my kitten. She signed a document I had typed out that she would return the kitten immediately upon request of the owner (me). She has now refused to return my kitten to me and has blocked my number. Can I file a police report? Will they do anything to help me?

My dog was killed by another dog in the neighborhood.

My wife was walking our mini dachshund in our neighborhood and was on a leash. While walking past a house, the front door was opened and this pit bull mix instantly went to our dog and viciously attacked and killed our dog. Was told by neighbors they had talks with the owner of this dog telling him they feared this dog due to its aggressive nature. Owner brushed them off. Looking for answers to my situation and what lawyer can help me out. Have been told to deal with it in small claims.

How can I get my cat back from my ex?

My ex and I adopted my sister's kitten. While I was attending my father's funeral, he put her under his last name in vet records. When we broke up, I let him keep her with the condition I want to see her. He allowed me to see her until he met someone. Now he won't let me see her or take her back. What can I do to have her back or visitation rights? He refused to bring her to me to see her. While he took care of her mostly, I was deployed for my job. Can he use this against me? I have receipts paying vet bills and ordering food through Amazon. He let me see her through a video call every night. I didn't think he would become evil and separate us. Last thing I asked him was to write a will so if something happens to him, she should be returned back to me. He doesn't agree to that.

Legal obscurity surrounding primary contact for microchip on adopted kitten.

I adopted a kitten from a rescue a few months ago. I signed a contact that stated the rescue must be the primary contact on the soon-to-be implanted microchip, and neutering was to be done there as well. Weeks later, I found online sources that stated, under new CA law, the owner must be the primary contact on the pet’s microchip. Perhaps the rescue does not know this, or does not want adopters to know. I want to be the primary on my pet’s chip, and also want to get him neutered somewhere else, sooner than the rescue recommends, in order to avoid spraying. Since this bill was signed into law, back in 2022 (bill AB2723), does the rescue have any legal ground to stand on? I’m afraid if I get him neutered there, they will also chip him at the same time.

NYPD took my dog and I want him back.

My dog was taken by the NYPD because they claim I left the dog in a hot car. The car windows and sunroof were open, and I made sure to park under a tree for shade and a breeze, yet they still took him. I want him back. How do I go about this?

Rescue suing to repossess my dog.

I adopted a dog after fostering for more than a year. The dog got sick at the same time the rescue was trying to get the dog adopted. The rescue was concerned about the adoption than waiting for the dog to get better. I nursed the dog, paid for treatment and decided to adopt him, though he has behavioral issues. He is a husky and finds a way to escape. The rescue is suing me to repossess the dog because they consider me unfit.

Rescue team is claiming ownership of my dog.

My dog was lost and animal control took him to the shelter. He was badly hurt and was rescued from being euthanized. They have treated him and I contacted them when I came across his picture after a month of looking for him. We finally spoke and they state that he won't be adopted, has tissue scarring, suggestions of being poorly treated prior to him being missing. They told me I can't get him back and he belongs to them. Is that the law? What can I do to bring him home?

Looking for clarity regarding adoption fee for feral cats I’m fostering.

I have been fostering a feral mother and her five kittens since they were three weeks old. We have decided to keep three of the babies . When we reached out to the organization that we are supporting, they informed me that I would still have to pay an adoption fee. Though they gave us a discount they still want over $400. They said at first that the fee is covered neutering, vaccination, and micro chipping. I told them that I will cover neutering, and I don’t want them to be microchip. Then they changed their tune and said that the fee is the adoption fee. Should I submit all the receipts of everything to support these babies for the last three weeks? I never signed a contract. And I feel like I’m being taken advantage of.

I need help reclaiming my cats.

I need an animal rights lawyer. My cats got lost and were at the animal shelter. They're emotional support animals and I looked everywhere for them for months.
