Awe Adi! BIG HUGS! It makes me SO mad when different bases have different rules. It should be consistent no matter where you're stationed so stuff like this doesn't happen! We were allowed 3 cats (or dogs) at Ft. Riley but Ft. Carson told us only 2. I smuggled in my 3rd anyways b/c she would always hide whenever anyone would come over anyways. It's not always that easy though!
I hope that the rest of your move/unpacking goes so much smoother than it already has and you can start settling in physically and mentally soon! <3
