Opening comments - more at end. May 31, 1990 Toronto Star - Page W? Case of the cat lady is still unresolved By Mike Funston - TORONTO STAR Mississauga's cat lady, Lois Stevens, still doesn't know where she stands after a deal fell through with the city to temporarily allow her to stay on the property where she runs a cat shelter. The city has been trying for a year to evict her from the Burnhamthorpe Rd. W. house, a municipal property that eventually will be demolished. A compromise was worked out by lawyers for the two parties that was to have allowed Stevens to stay in the 75-year-old former Bird estate until June 1, 1991. She has rented the place for seven years. However, the deal was rejected by city council. "They reneged on the deal… everything
is still up in the air," Stevens says.
Complicating matters is that Stevens' lawyer was recently appointed a judge, so she has had to get a new lawyer. For years, Stevens has kept a non-profit shelter for abused and abandoned cats on the property and has earned accolades from area veterinarians for her work. A city bylaw forbids residents from keeping more than four pets per household. PLEEASSE SIGN OUR PETITION It will make a difference!
