Breeder gave me a different kitten.

I put a deposit and paid fully $3k for a specific kitten I picked out through pictures she provided. When I went to get my kitten, she gave me a different one telling me that it looks different than when I first picked her because she was so young. I have photos proving it's not the same kitten since she posted pictures of them and I was very excited, so I saved them. Can I get the kitten I paid for? Or get my money back?

Pregnancy discovered after adoption.

I work with a small rescue. We have an adopter who after the adoption discovered the dog was pregnant. The adoption agreement does not deal with this issue. Now the puppies are 7 weeks old, and the adopter is claiming they are her dogs. Legally who owns the dogs?

Having an emotional support cat as a live-in caregiver.

I'm a live-in caregiver for my ex-wife and we're living in a government subsidized apartment. We're both elderly and both have emotional support cats with papers from our doctors. The landlord just told me after living here a year with an ESA that I have to get rid of mine. Is this true?

My dog was injured on my neighbor’s fence

Our backyard is fully fenced, but one side was put up by the neighbor instead of us. That side is falling apart with several broken boards. My dog was playing in the backyard, jumped up at a bird, and landed on a broken part of fence with an exposed metal bracket. The bracket ripped through skin and muscle, and left a large laceration on my dog’s chest, which required an emergency vet visit and stitches. Do we have any legal standing for recovering vet costs from the neighbor? Or for having them replace/repair the fence?

What is my responsibility for pets that are left with my ex-partner?

I left an abusive situation where my girlfriend was rageful to me and told me to leave her house. I was staying with her, although I also had my apartment that I was paying rent for. We had bought a dog together, but she is on the papers for registration. After she kicked me out, now she is saying that I owe half of the vet bills going forward and half of caring for the dog going forward. Is this true? I am unable to take the dog so she will need to take the dog, rehome it or sell it. She is basically using this to try to keep in contact with me. I do not want to have any further contact with her? What do I need to do?
