What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Pennsylvania
I adopted a cat from an animal shelter. At the time, I had to sign a blurry, misspelled, badly typed contract of sorts. It basically says that I will ensure the animal is kept inside, healthy, well-fed, not used for medical research, etc. It also says that I cannot give or sell the cat to other parties. How enforceable is such a thing? If I give the cat to a friend, who is caring for it perfectly well, can the shelter do anything against me? They are threatening criminal charges, which just feels ridiculous and I think they are just making that up, but would love some advice.
