Not-so-friendly PSA to STOP DUMPING ANIMALS. I spent 12 hours outdoors last night gaining the trust of another beautiful, confused, frightened cat. He was definitely domesticated at one point, desperate for love but scared to be pet. No chip and thrown to fend for himself in 1/4
the coyote laden country. Our vet is about 1/4 mile away and people think animals will just wait there overnight to be taken in (they aren’t a shelter) or make their way from our road. Our county has no shelter or contracts. This is why we rescue. I made him a bed outdoors 2/4
at dusk, he meowed at me for hours, approaching and retreating, before finally making friends at 4am. Got him inside and isolated him to adjust. He has been neutered, so that will save on vet care, but there is zero good reason to ever dump a creature you agreed to care for. 3/4
It only takes a few minutes to call a shelter or rescue, post an ad, write a flyer, ask around- instead of traumatising/condemning an innocent being to death. Pic as we were gaining trust. He is safe now and his name is Laszlo after @porksmith #CatsOnTwitter #AdoptDontShop
4/4
4/4
Update 13th November. Laszlo is relaxing in my daughter’s room for Saturday Night Cat Rave with our Nigel.
