Advice Needed - Buying a Leasehold flat without confirmation my cat will be allowed

Good Morning, I'm at a bit of a loss on what to do - I've found this third floor flat, it's the only flat in the area I need to be in for work that I can afford (I've been keeping an eye out for similar properties and literally nothing else in my price range is coming up) - I need to be moving in the next month or so too…

To those of you that have suggested getting rid of the cat - Shame on you. A cat, like any other pet, it is a life long commitment. It would be no different to getting rid of a child if the lease said "no children".

They’re really not comparable in the slightest. Don’t be silly. Also there’s really no need to turn this into a moral debate.

Ultimately if the request is denied the OP has to make a choice, the cat or the flat. Only they can decide.
