Show us your pets!

The cats were left behind in the empty apartment. THREE MONTHS AGO!

It never ceases to amaze me how callous people can be toward animals. My two cats were put out on the street to fend for themselves. Sheesh.

I have such a soft spot for black cats & dogs. Your two are very pretty. May you all have many happy, healthy years ahead.

Rebecca - such a nice thing you did for those two kitties! I just do not understand how people can abandon pets the way they do

I just do not understand how people can abandon pets the way they do

Yes, WE all very clearly see it as abandonment (as do the Pilates people in the studio upstairs and their clients including my friend).

But it sounds like essentially the owner and her tenant each just assumed the other one would look after the cats. The tenant moved out, thinking "they're not mine, the owner will take care of things" and she was in Israel assuming her cats were being looked after (when really she should have properly re-homed them when she moved away). All my dealings have been with the Pilates people. This morning though I got an e-mail from the lady in Israel, thanking me profusely for taking them. But - I noticed - she made no hint of an apology for putting them in such a precarious situation to begin with. She also sounds like she just does not understand cats.

They are so much better off with me now!
