This is a terrible situation you're in.
 
There is no ordinance in my town that I am aware of, but as I am an apartment dweller, I have a self imposed limit of 5 for a total living space of 800 square feet.  I have 4 at the moment, but I am not looking for another.  The only "rule" here is that they are all licensed (and they are).
 
Good luck!

Hi, my dear friends on the list,

 

I am so sorry that I have not been posting or responding to your postings – but please know that all of your babies who are having a difficult time right now are in my thoughts and prayer.

 

I am facing a very difficult situation for my cats and I am trying to fight back and I could use your help – If you know anything about your city ordinance regarding having multiple animals in the residential area or if you could look into it and email it to me, I would be very grateful.  The city may try to take all my furry babies away from me due to the stupid ordinance which exist right now in my city (which only allow 10% of your premise size as a defined area where you can have animals, then each animal (if less than 30lb) will require 75 sq – so for example, let’s say, I have 4,000 sq in my premise, they only consider 400 sq as a limitation of the space where could be used for animal site – so if I divide 400 by 75, I could only have 4 or 5 animals, which anyone can have (the number of animals one can have in my city without permit is 4 anyway and will become 6 with new ordinace this fall) – this is a stupid law, because it was originally written for hobby breeders where they keep animals in kennels and cages, and they just apply to multiple permit as well, but it does not make sense –

 

So I am working with a city councilor to revise this information so that anyone in my situation won’t have to deal with it – but I would like to know what other cities may have as there might be something that I could learn –

 

In the meantime, please pray that they all will be able to stay with me – as the city takes them, you know what’s going to happen – the officers already inspected my house a couple of times, and they are very fine with it ---- all animals are well taken care of.. they have a very good life - - just the stupid ordinance.. if they don’t grant me a permit, I was advised to request a hearing, which I will do for sure.. but I am hoping that I won’t have to as I don’t want that much visibility in this matter.

 

PS: also my Hannibal is not eating well – he is CRF kitty, and my vet suggest that he may have FIV due to high globulin value, but I do not agree – I have so many other cats with higher globulin value – but he is becoming anemic, I think it’s due to CRF – please send a prayer for Hannibal that he gets better very very soon!  He is my very first feral boy!
