This is why I always have a move-in checklist and ask tenants to take photos as well as the photos I have on file. Lesson learned for you.

Apartments are notorious for this kind of charge but your cats causing further damage doesn't help. Since you have no proof of the condition of the carpet when you moved in as compared to what it is today, your only recourse is to wait for the charge from the management company, dispute it if you think it is too much, and if you get no satisfaction from that, you can take them to small claims court or arbitration to have a third party review your case.

Good luck.
