Not Giving Up

I’m not ready to call it quits yet. I put out fresh food and water, and I put it under our awning so the abandoned cat can hang out when the rain comes back.

I still have hope, even if it’s fleeting. Come visit me, little abandoned kitty.

Cat Update

No news on the abandoned cat. Still missing in action.

When I got home two of my neighbors were scoping out the scene. I told them what seems to have happened and they were both just as upset as Jen and I were last night. Two more neighbors joined us so the word is spreading. There will be a lot of people in the neighborhood keeping an eye out for a little lost cat.

The food we left out still hasn’t been touched. One of the neighbors was walking her dog when we were talking and the dog partook of a few sips of water. Other than that, nothing.

Cat Update

Last night just before bed Jen and I went outside to see if the abandoned cat was around. As soon as we opened the door we saw it standing at the end of our front walkway. When we stepped outside it ran away.

A few minutes ago I walked over to the box where we left some food and water. It doesn’t look like it was touched, by the cat or any of the thousand other small critters who live in the woods.

If we can catch it we will bring it to the MSPCA down the street. If it’s okay the question will be do we try again to integrate a second cat into the house?

Some Asshole Left This

When I came home tonight I saw a cat near the trees in between our house and the house next door. There was also a box with a cover. Like the kind of box printer paper comes in. Jen came home a couple of minutes later and she noticed the same thing. We walked over to see if we could find the cat because the box was giving us both a really bad feeling. We walked slow, calling for the cat. It never came out of the trees. We lost sight of it pretty quickly. What we did see was that the box cover had holes cut into the top and there was a towel lining the bottom. I think our bad feeling was confirmed.

Someone abandoned the cat. They put it in the box and dropped it on our street. Some mutt. Some scumbag piece of dirt. Some pile of filth abandoned this cat on our street when we are literally walking distance from a huge animal shelter.

Now what do we do? Call the MSPCA? They always say don’t leave food out for strays, but I think it’s warranted in this case. We left a little food and a little water. When we came back in after delivering, the cat was sitting by our front steps. When we approached she slinked away. Poor little kitty.
