Animal control has issued an order that could lead to Nova being removed, and the deadline to act is December 30. If no sufficient applicant parties come forward by then, animal control may remove Nova and move the matter to a court hearing.
That creates immediate uncertainty for everyone involved. Nova should not be put at risk of removal while a decision is still being pushed forward on a deadline, especially when the outcome would affect a living animal and the people responsible for Nova’s care. Once a removal starts, the stress, expense, and disruption become much harder to undo.
The clearest solution is to cancel the animal controls order and keep Nova where Nova is now. If there are concerns that need to be addressed, they should be handled through a fair process that does not begin with taking Nova away first. A removal order should be the last resort, not the starting point.
We ask animal control to withdraw the removal order and confirm, in writing, that Nova will not be taken on or before December 30. If the agency believes conditions still need review, it should use the time before that deadline to work toward a resolution that keeps Nova safe and avoids court action.
This is a practical request, not an emotional one. Cancelling the order now would prevent unnecessary escalation, reduce stress for everyone involved, and give the issue a chance to be resolved on the facts rather than under the pressure of a looming removal.
