Left about an hour ago to keep the adoption appointment, but as we were looking for the address (the house is fairly hidden behind another home) I noticed cats all over the place near the house we were searching for. I lost count at 19. On the doorstep, I could see countless cans of opened cat food sitting around. I double checked the address- yep- same one and looked over at Shimmer who was trembling in her carrier and we just drove right on by. I don’t think this woman needs another cat- just could be fluke though I doubt it. None of the cats looked in good shape and all of them were outside, I guess she didn’t lie to me all the way- she said she had no indoor kitties!
No way am I going to put Shimmer into another nightmare. She is back with her brother now, grateful to be out of the dreaded carrier.
that does not sound like the ideal set up for shimmer, or any other cat for that matter. Good for you for not stopping, better for shimmer that you did not stop.
So happy you didn’t leave Shimmer in that house. It’s definitely not the right place for her.
A mystery as why the woman thought she could handle another cat, when she clearly couldn’t take care of those she had. Well, in her mind, she probably is helping those outside cats, and figured she would be reducing your load by taking one in. But all of those in your care are doing well, and wouldn’t improve at that place. The poor cats. Lucky Shimmer.
