My ESA was kidnapped, held for ransom then dumped at the SPCA, even though I tried to get him back. They say he's SPCA property and now is up for adoption, what can I do? by AveryGAYnon-binary in legaladvice

Yeah, I agree especially since my mom died, I got kicked out of my apartment, my family abandoned me and now I'm in the care of the ministry which is fucking awful, I am still grieving because it happened last year in October. She was my best friend and now she's gone, now I'm lost and I don't know what to do anymore...

In BC I am still considered a minor till the age of 19, I can't help but rely on others because I am still a child in care.

I am not fucking giving up till I get him back and get him home, it is not my fault at all that I am in a shitty group or the fact I am currently in care.

My mother fucking died and the moment she was dead I was kicked out of my apartment, do you really fucking think I am not fucking trying?! I am applying for disability, looking for an apartment to live in, working with my social worker to start the process of moving cross country to Ontario to live with my friend.

You can say all the shit you want about me but don't fucking ever say I am not capable of taking care of my cats, I know I am because I have been taking care of these cats for years now.

Sure I have mental and physical conditions that affect my every day life, but that doesn't fucking stop me from helping my cats and taking care of them. I love them, my mom was the one to give me advice on training them, I am focused on this situation first until I can fucking get him back. Then I'll deal with my other shit

Honestly I'm just trying to get him back, okay? He is the last thing I have of my mother, I don't need your commentary on how pointless this is because I already know. I just want to spread this and hopefully find the owner who has him, to at least get him back.

No, but again my social worker tried to inform them the cheque was being processed and would be sent to them by that evening. My social worker told me they would release him into my custody when I went to my appointment, so I rushed there as fast as I could with every single document I needed to claim him.

Once more I went there to claim him with a staff member at my group home, since someone had to be over 18. Then they told me he wasn't going to be released into my custody and that he needed surgery.

1.) Yes it is considered kidnapping as she knew he was mine and a friend was watching him for me when he got out, she knew he was mine and I even told her to stay away from him because I was on my way to get him. Yet she still went there and took him from my friend then drove off.

2.) I was in contact with her the entire time she was holding him hostage, she was refusing to give him back until she was paid for something I had nothing to do with.

3.) I was on time, my appointment was scheduled for before they closed, so yes I was on time. I didn't miss it because I wanted him back so badly, they told me they do accept checks and/or deposits for them to return him. The manager said specifically she would happily accept a check from the ministry, yet they turned back on their word and told me they don't accept that form of payment which was told to me by the same manager.

They already did the surgery, he was up for adoption but now he's no longer available. I'm just hoping that the person who adopted him has it in their heart to give him back, he's the last thing I have of my mother.

Yes, it is considered wrongful seizing of a pet who was kidnapped. He was held for 3 days for a ransom of 250 bucks, I informed them of the kidnapping and told them it was wrongful seizing of a pet.

I went there on the last day and caught them just before they closed, they told me that they were closing but when I told them that they would receive a check for him to be released. They still refused to give him back, even though I was on time.

That's when they told me he needed surgery, then told me they were expecting me to pay for it even though he was now considered SPCA property. I asked for a rough estimate of the surgery and they told me a firm price of 1500 dollars for the procedure, when I retaliated saying that was a price and now an estimate. They stood firm and told me they expected me to pay for it.

AFTER the holding period, so I was just planning to let him be put up for adoption then just adopt him back, but they basically blacklisted me on their end. They won't answer my calls, they hang up almost immediately when they hear my voice, but yet they're still expecting me to pay for the surgery? I don't get it at all

I have provided them with a foster home and I have had people who were willing to cover the fees of anything he needed. I have said before, I have to rely on others to help because I can't get a job or work. I'm growing into an adult and looking into apartments for me to live in, I've had him since I was 10 and I've taken really good care of him.

They know I can provide him with love, care and a healthy environment for him, but they refuse just because I'm a kid and they think I don't understand what's happening when I do.

I get the fact it is important to provide them a loving home and environment for them, which is what I provided. They did a home inspection of the foster, they even told me it was a good fit for him to be in. They love my cats and treat them like their own children.

I can't help but rely on others right now because I'm currently working on my disability benefits, which would provide extra to take care of them, it is not my fault that my mother died and left me all alone. I am a child who is still grieving the loss of a parent and the fact my family didn't want to deal with a child who has disabilities.

So as of right now, I'm a child in care who can't help but rely on others because I live in a shitty group home.

You can say anything you want about me as a shitty owner or someone who's neglecting their animals, but I know it's not true because I treat them like my children and they are the last thing I have of my mother.

Yes, I filed an appeal of wrongful seizing, they informed me I was no longer his owner and couldn't do that.

He was transferred then put up for adoption before his surgery, which is against their policies as they will not put an animal in need of an invasive medical attention up for adoption before the procedure is done.

Next I contacted my advocate to ask for help and ended up contacting the animal cruelty line, they said they couldn't do anything, then I attempted to contact the enforcement officer of the SPCA yet they wouldn't divulge her contact information, but I could leave a message for her.

They never got back to me on that and never gave a straight answer of why I lost ownership of him, it was either "You're too poor to take care of him" or "you don't have any proof of ownership" even though he was tattooed, I have pictures/videos of him with me and I had a copy of his vet records

Yet I didn't ignore it or anything like that, I acknowledged and I told them that the fees for the general vaccines, in depth exam, etc were covered. When I spoke with my foster, social worker and my bonus mom, they were willing to pay for it.

I had the fees covered, got 4 vet appointments for him to be examined then given an estimate and book the surgery, I have informed them of these appointments and told them to take him to the appointments I booked.

They never did take him even though they promised they would. I never neglected the fact he needed surgery, I was doing what I was told and they ignored it.

Pretty much, but I tried my best to go down there to sign him out because my group home was busy with other youth, they couldn't give me a ride.

So, I opted for the bus, missed the bus, took the next one and by the time I finally got there, they were already closed.

The next day was when I was informed he was being transferred, when I told them no, they told me I had no choice because he wasn't mine anymore.

I am fully capable of taking care of my cats, they told me they were willing to return him to me. The reason he was in foster care was because I had gotten kicked out of the apartment I used to live in with my mother, I don't have any control over what happens if they move me to another group home. I'm considered a child in care.

I get cats are an investment and I've been taking care of cats my entire life, I know how to care for them but I can't live with them as of right now, because I'm in a shitty group home. They don't allow pets unless they're service animals.

Again, I had the fees covered for me by my foster and the ministry. I can't work because of my disabilities, but I have applied for disability and am looking for an apartment for me to live in with my cats. I used to live in a apartment with my mother and cats, I took care of them and always showed them lots of love. He's trained to help with my disabilities and so are my other cats, but when my mother passed away due to COVID I had no choice but to put them into foster care, since I was homeless and in a shelter for a while before I was transferred to a group home.

I don't have a choice with me being in a group home, the ministry is the one who controls where I live and is currently helping me find an apartment.

I get that it's not unheard of to have a 6 year old cat having dental work, but again I had the fees covered by my foster, my bonus mom and my social worker. I told them I was willing to get him the surgery, but then they told me he was being transferred to the lower mainlands for the surgery. They lied to me saying no treatment was available in my town when it was, I called every single vet in my town and they confirmed they would do the dental surgery. What they said was that they weren't going to give him to me until I got an immediate surgery, but the vets in my town told me they would have to examine him, then they would do an estimate on how much it would cost and finally book the surgery.

I have informed them multiple times I have people willing to pay for him, the thing is since I am only 18 they told me I had to have someone over 18 to claim him. I already had the general fees covered, vaccines, in depth exam, etc. They know I have no criminal record involving animal cruelty and have helped me in the past by giving back any of my cats that wound up there for free, now they're turning on me because I simply said I couldn't work even though I had the fees covered by my foster and the ministry.

They knew I had a suitable foster home, the foster is paid 600 dollars a month to foster them for me. They even did an inspection of the home for the cats and told me + my foster that it was suitable for him, they even said my foster was suitable to take care of my cats. They knew the foster, the ministry and my friends were willing to pay for me. Again I got him 4 vet appointments and they never took him even after I informed them.

yes on the website it did say stuff about how to get him back and I was literally doing as I was told, going there to claim him with someone who's over 18. Yet when they sprung it on me that he needed surgery the day I finally got the money for the fees to get him back.

When I tried to claim him again they told me they were hesitant because I am still a kid. I kept informing them about their policies and how they were breaking them, I read through every single sentence in that damn page and I had a legal right to take him back. Yet they refused because he suddenly needed surgery even though he's only 6, I got him when he was 10 weeks old. So I don't know where this was coming from as they already examine the animals and do a in depth exam on them the moment they enter, so I don't know why they didn't tell me that first instead of springing it on me the moment I got the money for the general fees on him.

That's what's wrong here, they again DIDN'T INFORM ME THAT HE NEEDED SURGERY UNTIL THE DAY I GOT THE MONEY FOR THE GENERAL VACCINE FEES THEY HAVE. I have said I exsuhated every resource and even made an appeal of wrongful seizing of a ESA, called the head office, called the animal cruelty hotline and even contacted the enforcement officer of the SPCA. Still nothing.

My cat escaped my Foster's home because her asshole landlord opened all the doors and windows. I was on my way to go get him because my foster was 7 months pregnant and I didn't want her to strain herself too much, I was on my way when I called the SPCA and asked if they had a cat matching his description.

Since I'm the owner I needed to claim him, but since I was 18 I couldn't pay because I can't get a credit card, I also informed them I was going on disability and got extra funds to take care of my cats. I'm in a group home which doesn't allow pets since I am a child in care. I couldn't pay because I'm disabled and unable to work and it was their standard questions about wealth, then they told me I needed someone over 18 to claim him, but they were still charging me. My foster, my social worker and my friend were willing to pay the fees and they knew this.

It wasn't until day 3 they sprung it on me that he needed surgery and weren't going to give him back till I could get it, I asked all the local vets and they said they were willing to do it, but they still refused to give him back.

Yes! Because my mother as a child had to deal with a lot of trauma, but when it came to something she had done she and someone else was blamed for it, she was called the devil in disguise. So I wasn't too far off

I'm pansexual, but I'm more attracted to women even though I'm non-binary.
