Renting with pets

Finding a home for you and your pet(s) can be challenging, so we’ve compiled a few ideas to make it easier to look for pet-friendly housing for you and your furry friend(s).

Be a good pet-owning renter

Give yourself enough time to find the right pet-friendly rental (see list below)
Offer to pay a higher security deposit and reassure the landlord by offering a formal pet resume (samples here and here)
Show that you are a responsible pet owner: provide a letter of reference from your current landlord or a letter from your veterinarian
Get it in writing that your landlord agreed to allow you to keep a pet in your new apartment
Do not try to sneak your pet into your new apartment; this could result in breaking your rental agreement and losing the apartment or being forced to give up your pet(s)

Resources to find pet-friendly housing

The following websites allow you to refine your apartment search to show listings that are pet-friendly.

These resources are to assist cat owners. The contents of external websites are beyond 4 Paws control. 4 Paws accepts listings to this web page that are complementary to its mission statement and reserves the right to refuse or remove any listings that are not in line with 4 Paws mission.

Sun Cities 4 Paws has many permanent shelter residents. We have a ‘Sponsor a Shelter Resident’ program to help offset costs. Read more here or donate here and choose Sponsor a Shelter Cat from the drop down menu.
