In Some towns the Animal Control Officers are great. You email them. They go visit. Things improve. Other towns it’s better to call the police (on their regular phone number, not 9-1-1), just to ask for their recommendation.

🤷🏼‍♀️

Maybe these cats are not being appropriately cared for. Approach it as concern for the cats.

Cat urine and meth manufacturing smell similar. Are you positive it is the cat box aroma? Because cooking meth is dangerous and cops might want to evaluate that situation themselves.

There are no drugs involved It just stinks so bad it comes through the vents and walls dude..

They're telling you that reporting a massive ammonia like smell coming from your neighbors house might yield better results.

They're basically telling them to SWAT their next door neighbor. Better hope they don't kick in the wrong door on accident and shoot them in the middle of the night.

Your municipality or county surely has some type of health code. Call your town hall.

Have you seen the cats? If you have not seen cats I'm going to put it out there that what you've got is a meth lab.

A couple cats would be a great front to mask meth manufacturing. It would take a lot of cats to do what you're saying is happening

Wow, first they are the neighbor and now they are family. Love how the details change. Doesn’t matter, contact a lawyer or move.

Idk if you're trying to be funny but its not working, regardless we are trying to not do that and yes it happens that theyre neighbors and yes they are also his family.. Regardless it dont matter give me advice not your petty bs concerns on details

You wanted advice I gave it to you. Have fun with your problem. Who cares if they are family, you are complaining so do something about it.

You have options, use them, if not, then you can deal with the issue.

Code enforcement? Small claims? Loss of peaceful enjoyment of your home?

You need to sit with a lawyer.

Can you say what kind of help you're looking for? Are you looking for air purifying tips? Unfortunately this situation will not go away without intervention.

People have said to make calls to the police and animal control, but you're saying that it's not working for you. How much have you followed up with them? I live in a small ruralish town myself so I understand that sometimes it's hard to get someone inspired to come out, but you should be able to contact one of your town's council representatives about it, or your local state representative's office which should be nearby.

I tried googling "animal rescue license in pa" but I am only pulling up a kennel license which requires inspection because there are standards of care which this home is obviously not providing. Someone absolutely should be able to look into things.

I’m so sorry for you. Try putting Vicks generic product under your nose.

However, maybe they have a foster rescue license to cover up their hoarding.

The place isn’t clean. You can smell cat piss next door! Keep calling Animal control.

Is it cats or a meth lab?

Let the landlord know the neighbor is destroying the property.

Gracie305 t1_j9uivtd wrote

Is the property owned or rented? If rented, report it to the landlord or management company. If owned and there is any sort of HOA/COA structure, review the rules and regulations and file a grievance with the board.

I don't think this is the place to come to complain about this. Make a report to city hall or something. Nobody here on Reddit (of all places, why reddit?) can help you.

Nature's Promise makes a spray that gets rid of cat urine smells, it breaks down the enzymes in cat urine. You can also get products that absorb odors, such as activated charcoal bags, idk if they work for cat urine though. It doesn't seem like there's an easy answer for you. I don't like the dog in a cage all the time, that's horrible, but idk the circumstances. I did thought that rescues or fosters had to have cats spayed/neutered, that would stop the marking, but again, idk all the details. I would Google products you can buy to help eliminate the smell to your home. Cat urine is strong and will definitely aggravate asthma. Good luck!

I can’t think that could be true. Our two animal shelters are so clean and healthy smelling. M so sorry.

Its not an animal shelter whatsoever

In my area it’s the SHELTER that gives people the kitties to foster. I meant the shelter vets the people.

Probably just an animal hoarder. Real shelters smell fine because they have a horde of volunteers to clean them.

Does your boyfriend live with family who runs a cat rescue and you don't like it? I'm sorry if he's having issues but your original post is about how it's driving you insane first, and not his issue.

They need a better system for changing and disposing of litter. Cat litter can get very expensive if we’re talking about multiple cats. People don’t like to dump it all out every day because of the expense but they need to be doing that. Maybe offer to donate litter if this is the issue? Or heavy trash bags if it’s the trash that stinks?

They also need to make sure all of the cats are spayed and neutered. Unneutered males stink to high heaven.

If it smells so bad that it's bothering the neighbors, it is more likely an unsanitary hoarding situation. Those poor animals are being abused.
