Is there a list of colleges that allow pets?

I have a male Siamese cat that has been my constant companion for five years. I am a senior in high school, and looking forward to college next fall. I would really like to take my cat with me. However, the ideal place for me would allow pets (namely cats). I can't seem to find a list. Help please?|||The Biggest Pet Friendly Colleges and Universities
