I know I'm fairly knew here and not really one of the gang yet but I could sure use your help right now but first some backstory.
My fiancee and I have 19 cats which we are currently in a fighting our local council to try and keep. Yeah, before you start, I know it's a lot of cats but I can assure you that this is not a hoarding situation. They're all happy, healthy, spoiled and lazy. They are also desexed, microchipped and registered with said council, have been both wormed and deflead within the past two weeks and are taken to the vet when the need arises. We set up a Facebook page with photos so you can see for yourself.

We never set out to have that many but unfortunately until recently there wasn't a no kill shelter in our area and the one that is here now isalready at capacity and with us being so big cat lovers when we found a stray or someone bought one to us we took them in without hesitation. People often ask us how we can afford it but it's actually really managable. Neither me or my fiancee smoke, drink or whatever, can't have kids and are both homebodies so we can afford to look after them and have some creature comforts of our own.
My biggest concern in all this is not only the wellbeing of our cats but also of my fiancee and myself. My fiancee is both physically and mentally disabled and I am mentally disabled and with us not being able to have kids these cats are like children to us. Having these cats taken from us will mean certain death for them and I really don't think either of us could handle it. My fiancee especially. The only real dispute with the council is a special circumstances premit which we are entitled to according to our lawyers but the council are doing thier best to try and worm out of it.
So if you could please sign and share my petition I would really appreciate it. I don't want money and I especially don't need judgment. Just need people to sign and share. Thank you.

Note: I made sure to speak to a moderator before posting this as I wasn't sure if it was against rules or not.
