Perception vs Reality
75% of cat friendly private landlords report no problems at all from cats in their properties, and whilst 62% of surveyed landlords who don't allow cats in their properties believed damage would be an issue, only 17% of those who did had any experience of that Source: Cats Protection / National Landlords Association 2018
TENANTS: Moving with a cat or looking to get a cat? All leases seem to say No Pets? You don’t feel confident asking the question or challenging a decision. YOU NEED AN ADVOCAT!
LANDLORDS: You’re busy people – we get that! So if someone asks about having a cat in your property, you want to know a bit more about them, but you just haven’t got the time. YOU NEED AN ADVOCAT!
Making a difference
AdvoCATSeastmids is a voluntary organisation set up to campaign for more tenants to be allowed to keep cats in their rental properties, and to work with rescues, landlords & tenants where possible to achieve this.
