Thankfully my family doesn't mind taking care of her until I have a place that allows cats but I was shocked that out of all animals a really common one is excluded. Although I know the damages cats can make so it does make sense from a landlord perspective. Just try not to stress overly about it. Make sure you have a place for your animals to go even if it's without you. Do what's best for you and your animals.

Which pets are excluded often comes down to the prior bad experiences those landlords (& their insurance companies) have faced in the past- that determines how open-minded they'll be.

As far as cats, when I was in college, I once lived in an apartment where someone was feeding a stray cat that wasn't allowed as a pet. As a result, the entire building got infested with fleas in the carpet, and had to be fumigated- talk about miserable, & probably costly. If everyone was responsible with the animals they keep...but sadly, they just aren't, so rules get made for all. Hang in there.
