We could never understand people who abandon their cats. Sure, sometimes, cats and people don't get along, and maybe yours is not the house this kitty was meant to be in. But to abandon it? On the street? Alone? Unacceptable. There are so many other solutions. You could find the cat a new family, or you could bring it to a shelter. Anything except leaving it in a carrier outside - confused, alone and terrified - and hoping that someone will just pop up and pick them up.
Sadly, that's exactly what happened in today's story. This adorable cat was abandoned by its previous owners. It is sheer luck - or maybe the Cat Distribution System performed some of its magic - that sent these wonderful people to save this cat. As angry as we are about the people who abandoned this precious kitty, we are a million times more thankful to the ones who rescued it and worked so hard and for so long to gain its trust.
First of all, the people who abandoned him should be ashamed. No note, no nothing, just leaving the poor thing out there in the world in its carrier, hoping that what- someone would pick him up? It's a miracle that someone did, and that they are as kind as they are.
And second of all, months is nothing in this situation. Cats whose trust in humans has been so painfully broken could take years to warm up to someone. It's a testament to how sweet the cat is and how great his new owners are that it happened this quickly.
