I want my foster cat that was adopted back.

I am a foster parent and I was tricked by a customer. They adopted a cat from me and I did not notice that they put a PO Box into the address line. The driver license number is wrong too and her phone number is to her work place. Once I noticed, I asked her to provide an address, and she refused saying that she doesn’t feel comfortable doing so. I am very concerned about my foster cat. I have no idea where the cat is currently and she won’t cooperate. She told me that I signed the papers so now the cat is hers, and she said to take her to court. Can I legally demand the cat back?

My vet keeps adding procedures and bills to my puppy with parvo.

Hello, initially we were quoted around $5,800 to treat our puppy with parvo. Though it seemed he was past the worst, they wanted to keep him longer to make sure he made it out. Now, they’ve been using the same scare tactics and other ways of keeping him longer and adding onto the bill. Is there anything I can do?

What happens to the ownership of a pet when the owner dies?

My neighbor recently died and had a dog that her caregiver was taking care of for her. My neighbor told the caregiver she wanted her to keep the dog if something happened to her, but now her son wants the dog. He is an alcoholic and will not take care of the animal. The caregiver has had the dog since December and takes it to the groomer and takes really good care of the dog. No written agreement was made about the dog just verbal. Can the caregiver keep the dog?

Can my neighbor take her dog that she gave custody to me back?

My neighbor was sentenced to a couple years in prison for a felony. He asked me to take custody of his dog. I had him sign a release of ownership stating the dog's name, his name, and that he was releasing all interest in her. He recently contacted me and said he was coming home in a few months and wants her back. I love her, she's extremely attached to me, and I intend to keep her. Does he have any rights? I have the release, the nearly two years of her being licensed in my name, a vet visit, and I intend to change her microchip info from his name to mine. Can he take her back?

Disagreement with Rescue Foundation: taking newly adopted puppy out-of-state

I adopted a puppy from a rescue. I paid $200 and signed an adoption agreement. They tried to pick up my dog with the police. I refused, and they said it was a breach of contract because I decided to take my dog to my sister's house for a few days to house sit. They were concerned about my dog, but no where in my agreement does it say I can't take my dog where I want to. I had permission from my vet, my sisters dogs were vaccinated, and I was very careful. The puppy is in very good health. The foundation is taking me to small claims court stating that I am indebted to them for $200 and/or I'm not entitled to the dog. Do they have any chance of getting the dog back? I can provide all vet records, vaccinations, and patient notes showing where the vet gave me permission to take him out of state with me. I have personal references of what a great home the dog has. I am worried.

I miss my cat that I had to rehome, how can I get it back?

Hello, I'm 60 yrs of age and am having surgery soon. I thought it would be better if I rehomed my cat named Muffy, as I would have a hard time post surgery to properly care for him. So stupidly I then posted for him to be rehomed. Soon he was off to the new owners. Realizing I've made a huge mistake as I'm not married and have no children, Muffy (my kitty) was my baby and I miss him terribly. I've raised him, now he's a 6 yr old grey with olive green eyes Russian Blue cat male that's neutered and declawed and oh so handsome. Where do I stand legally? I would like to have him back. I've had talk back and forth with the elderly couple that has him via TXT messages..but now they aren't responding to my texts. Whatdo I do?? Please help.

Can someone legally keep my dog from me after watching him for 3 months?

I am now in a legal battle with somebody I used to live with who said he would take care of my dog until I became settled in a new place. He will not return my calls/texts and is now saying that I have to pay $6,000 for boarding fees even though he’s been keeping him from me for 3 months by relocating him to his girlfriends house. He is papered in my name, but he wants to keep my dog and is now taking me to court and hiding my dog from me until I pay $6,000 in “boarding fees” although there was no contract. What can I do? Does he have standing to charge me for any boarding fees without an agreement?
