This little orange girl arrived after being locked in a bathroom with another cat when their owners vacated the rental property.
She appears very traumatized and is outside in the large cage hiding up on the third level (good thing I am tall). Although her ears are laid flat back and her eyes are slit when I enter the cage, she will allow me to pick her up, though she stays tense and curled into a ball with her head and tail tucked.
I put her about 7 months old, and thankfully there is a small scar indicating she has been spayed. She is going to need some time before she will accept anyone into her circle of trust- all because one family decided to leave her behind.
What is wrong with some people? Thank goodness she was rescued. Do you also have the other cat that was left behind?
Gee Weez, I just don’t understand people. I guess not everyone was raised to treat everyone, everything the way you want to be treated. I will never understand how anyone can just leave their fur-kid behind. Hopefully, these people don’t have kids and decide to just one day leave them on the side of the road or something. Thanks for being their to rescue and show them the love they so much deserve. God Bless, Sherri
My middle girl, Lucy, was left behind because her ‘family’ moved to California. I tend to refer to people such as this by calling them ‘scum of the earth’ – even that is not strong enough. I look forward to hearing of this new lovely lady.
Kim, the other girl a Siamese was adopted out yesterday to a loving, elderly couple. I didn’t think she would be here long. She is a beauty and smart too! Apparently, she turned on the faucet in the bathroom so they could at least get water!
well little Orinch girl- you have found a great place to learn to love and trust!! We know it will take some time to get over what you have been through, but we know that you are in the right place now!
I’m afraid that too many people think of their pets as “disposable.” If the dog pees on the carpet, don’t train him not to, just get rid of him. If it’s a pain to feed and clean up after a cat, just dump it out in the country.
If you’re being evicted, the least you could do is try to find a home for your cat or dog, even if it means you have to take the animal to the pound. If the economy doesn’t improve, expect to see more stories of this nature….
How long had the cats been cooped up? Any major health problems? You’re so experienced in “taming and befriending” cats that I expect Miss Orinch will be your bosom buddy in a matter of weeks if not days. Best regards.
It’s hard to believe people can be so cruel. Thankfully this little one is young enough to make a full recovery from her terrible experience. We wish her love and luck.
