As another poster said, don't rush into getting a pet. I have 2 cats and they limit my options, as many complexes and rental houses won't allow pets, or put strict limitations on them such as 1 cat, or only dogs below 40lb. Most complexes I've lived in charge a pet deposit on top of the regular deposit, as well as a monthly "pet rent", so it increases living costs in addition to food, toys, litter, etc. Cats require less work in a lot of ways than dogs, but they also can be harder to train out of bad behaviors (peeing on the carpet, scratching furniture). Having a pet can be great, but considering the costs is important, especially when the rest of your situation is changing at the same time.

Not sure if you'd know this, but since apartments generally have to let emotional support/service animals in regardless of their general policy, and you don't have to actually have any certification for your pet to be an emotional support animal, could I buy a cat at any apartment and claim it's an emotional support animal?

It's not really lying, I do get extremely depressed and lonely without SOME kind of friendship, human or animal.

I'm not sure on that one, you'd probably have to check your state laws on what qualifies a service/support animal.
