You can stipulate to your case manager or whoever is going to
help you find a new place. That your cat is not negotiable.

That he is your emotional therapy pet. And that he must be
accepted in your new place. They then need to find you an
place that will accept him.

I'm honestly not sure about a emotional therapy pet, but I would
ask your pdoc I think is what everyone calls them. To write you
an letter that your cat is this for you. And that he must be part
of your living arrangement.

THis hopefully would make it necessary for them to find a placement
that would let you have him then.
