Unpaid bills and unclaimed cats: What can I do as a pet shop owner?
Dear Sir/Madam,
I have a pet shop, and a customer has boarded 2 cats and 4 kittens with us, initially for 3 days.
However, he extended their stay, and now it has been 45 days. He keeps promising to take the cats but never does.
His bill is now over 7000 dhs, and I don't think he has any intention of paying. I am unsure what to do to ensure he takes the cats and pays his bill.
The municipality may just take them without any legal action.
Dear questioner,
We can send a legal notice to him, do the necessary follow-up, and induce him to pay.
Dear questioner,
You must serve him a legal notice, highlighting the fact that the municipality will take over possession of the pets to avoid any claim of loss.
Additionally, you must mention the bill within the notice and inform him that his bill is this amount due as of today so that you can establish a future claim against him.
If you need further clarification, kindly contact me via phone.
