That’s sad. I hope he got home & got taken good care of.
There are just so many irresponsible pet owners.
I used to commute through a “known dumping ground” for animals.
Animal control was probably there daily.
Really awful how some folks treat their animals.

Right now we have a dog and 6 cats.
All of them “foundlings”, except for 2 of the cats.
People dump their pets, particularly cats, thinking cats can take care of themselves. But they can’t, if they are accustomed to being fed and taken care of, they may stalk and hunt, but they can’t do it well enough to survive.

I feel so sorry for the cats that show up, thin and starving and just wanting a bite to eat. We can get four of the cats inside the house when the weather is cold - they each have their own “spot”. I don’t know what we’re going to do about the other 2 - if we bring any more cats inside, I think we’ll have a riot. Thankfully, it doesn’t get THAT cold for extended periods here, usually - but I’m still trying to figure out what to do for the winter.
gah.
