What Can Pet Owners Do Who Are Moving to Pet Unfriendly Apartments Instead of Bringing Pets To the Pound?

The results from the survey on this blog indicate most people (34%) would look for an apartment that accepted pets. 25% of the people said they would write a resume for their dog or cat. So how do you write a resume? Here is an example from a rental agency located in CA. Read more pet resumes from the site. Click on the link after reading about what a good boy Felix is.

SAMPLE CAT RESUME Felix (John & Jane Doe, Owners) 123 Main Street San Francisco, CA 94118 (415) 555-5555
Description:	Felix is a friendly, well-behaved cat who is used to being indoors and and is accustomed to apartment life. He is a 5 year old male tabby cat who enjoys sleeping in the sun and playing with his toys. He has a large scratching post which is the only thing he uses to sharpen his claws, and he is fully litter box trained. We have had Felix for four years, and he is a cherished member of our family.
Health/Grooming:	Felix is neutered, which benefits both his behavior and health. Since he does not go outdoors, fleas are normally not a problem. We brush Felix often, and have him professionally groomed at least once a year. He is also kept up-to-date on all vaccinations, and receives regular health exams from his veterinarian.
About us:	As cat owners, we always try to act responsibly. We clean Felix's litter box every day, and always dispose of litter in a sealed bag. We arrange for reliable pet care if we are going out of town. We are so sure that Felix will be a "good tenant," we are willing to put up an extra security deposit. We are members of the SPCA and are committed to responsible, caring pet ownership.
References:	Our current landlord can be reached at (323) 555-5555. Please see attached letters of recommendation and other documentation.
We would be happy to have a potential landlord meet Felix, visit him in his current home and/or check in to see how he is adjusting to his new surroundings after we move in.
