My friend (lets call her N for now) let her friend Michele borrow her cat for a while, after asking for her cat back Michele refused to provide information on the cat (the cat's name is Mavis) and refuses to let N see her cat. A few minutes ago N has found out that Michele legally registered Mavis as her emotional support animal at her college without N's consent. How can N get Mavis back?
Does N have any proof of ownership for Mavis, like adoption papers or vet records? This could be crucial in proving ownership in court.
Yes
N should consider filing a replevin action in court to recover Mavis.

- Rules: Proof of ownership is crucial in such cases.
- Court: Depending on your location, the local small claims court may handle this. Can you provide your location?
Long Beach
- Court: Long Beach Courthouse, * W Ocean Blvd, Long Beach, CA *, USA. Phone: +* *-*-*
- N should contact a local attorney for further assistance.
Thank you, is that all that she can do before taking it to court?
N can also try mediation or negotiation with Michele before taking it to court. It's less formal and can be less stressful.
Michele refuses to speak about Mavis at all
In that case, N should document all attempts to communicate with Michele. This could be useful in court.
Okay, thank you
