what is the oregon state definition of an aid animal? does therapy for post traumatic stress disorder count?

My husband is currently reciving treatment for post-traumatic stress from being overseas with the army. His therapist told him to play with our dog, as it is a good stress-reliever. Since our dog is a grouchy old fella we got a kitten to love. Now our apartment manager tells us we cannot have a pet under 1 year old unless it is an "aid animal". Since the kitten is part of his therapy, does it count? I know he would be very upset to have to get rid of his kitty.

2. Have the doctor write a prescription for the cat. Not qwuite the same as for medicine but the cat is medicine so to speak. A letter from the doctor should be enough for the land lord. Be sure not to let the cat dammage his property though. Beyoun that you can go to legal aid and have them check it for you. they may write a letter as well.
3. If the kitten helps ask your Doctor to approve this as Therapy for your husband I hope he gets much better, alot of Tender Loving Care is great too. Have you explained to your apt. manager at all, that may help.
