A fight over title, or services? Nope. Just a 1 0-pound cat named Sam that originally cost Phyllis Hammond $100. On Jan. 12, 1993, the co op board that runs Taromina, a 92-unit oceanfront building, rescinded its ban on pets. Hammond went out and bought the cat, a silver-ticked Oriental shorthair. Then, less than three weeks after its first vote, the board reinstated the ban and told Hammond to get Sam out of her one-bedroom apartment. She refused. An arbitrator ruled in Hammond’s favor and the board appealed to Broward Circuit Court. Owners voted 27-7 in favor of pursing the case, said association president Michael Moss. Hammond, who lives on a E ension and Social Security, as spent $8,063 to keep Sam, the co-op board has spent $11,000, and lawyers say a tri al could boost the costs to more than $40,000. Hammond said the cat isn’t Worth it. “Another $8,000 for a trial would be $16,000. That’s $16,000 for a cat,” she said. “No cat is worth $16,000 un less you have the money. I don’t.” But fight she must. At one point, when she had to borrow money to pay her lawyer, she offered to get rid of Sam, sell her apartment and end the dispute if each side would pay its own attorney’s fees. The board insisted she pay its fees. She didn’t have the money and was forced to con tinue, she said. The issue isn’t the cat but the principle, said lawyer Mark B. Schorr, who represented the board at arbitration. “Boards of directors in con dos and cooperatives have to enforce the rules that govern their buildings. If they don’t, you have anarchy,” he said.
