For the past three days, I have had a distressed, scared and likely hurt (possibly dead by now) cat stuck in the ductwork under my rental house. It has been extremely distressing to listen to an animal cry out in fear and pain, while banging around in what sounds like the ductwork desperately attempting to free itself. I have sent numerous recordings of the cat to Real Property Management (RPM) over the past three days. Both the owner, Luke, and manager, Shay, have indicated in reply texts that they could care less. In a recent text from Shay, RPM Manager, she stated, "I will see if I can get a maintenance guy to go over around 2am to scare the cat out. They will need in the house to stomp the floor to scare it back out of the crawl space access." This is not my cat but is likely one of the neighbor's outdoor cats who I'm sure is loved and missed. The cat was able to get under the house after the opening was not properly closed by a Real Property Management (RPM) employee. When RPM refused to assist, I contacted local animal rescue agencies, animal control and even called the police for help. It turns out, animal control, nor animal rescue will attempt to extricate the cat, as doing so may destroy property for which they would be legally responsible. Since I am not the owner of the house, I cannot give them that permission. This is RPM 's responsibility for negligently leaving the access open, and they have the ability to resolve this, but choose not to. After receiving nothing but rude, hateful and antagonistic texts, with no resolve for the cat, I have decided to leave appropriate reviews and have also contacted local media to shine light on RPM's practices, which in my opinion and experience have been negligent and likely may rise to the level of animal cruelty. read more
