Adopting stray pet

My sim is a college student and is living at the university dorm. I was trying to adopt a stray cat but there is no option. My sim and the stray cat are already good friends. Can my sim adopt the cat even if she still live at a dormitory?

    I've never tried adding a pet in a dorm, but maybe someone else here has already done this? Is this even possible?

    Normally, when you can't get the regular adoption process to work, you could try turning on testingcheats on and Shift + click on the cat and select Add to Family. I'm not sure if this will work in a dorm. I think you might also have to use a cheat bb.enablefreebuild to get pet items (food bowl, litterbox, pet bed, etc.) in a dorm.

    @RandomBuzziness i haven't tried using the cheats yet. There is no option on the computer for adoption. So I guess I can't adopt the cat yet..thank you!

    @iamvakekz I hope you are able to have lots of nice visits with your cat friend until you can adopt =^-^= I'm thinking I might try living with a few roommates in a private residence in Britechester where pets are an option (I think?) xD
