Episode Details

Seventy-one-year-old Michael Cox and his sixteen-year-old cat Pumpkin face a housing crisis in British Columbia, struggling to find a pet-friendly apartment. Cox, a retired bus driver, seeks a move closer to his sister but is blocked by no-pet rules and high costs. The issue disproportionately affects seniors, low-income renters, and those with disabilities, turning pets into a human rights concern. Advocates push for a ban on no-pet clauses in larger rentals, while Vancouvers city council awaits provincial approval. The crisis forces renters like Cox to choose between home and family, highlighting the need for policy change.
