Neighbor finds missing cat after owners put up posters offering $800 reward, neighbor brings the cat back, only to be guilted for accepting the reward: ‘I have benefited from their misfortune’

When a pet goes missing, most owners would do pretty much anything to get their beloved furriend back. We have yet to meet a pet owner who would not sell their own soul to be reunited with their most prized "possession". Love has no price tag.

So it shouldn't come as a surprise when one sees a "missing pet" poster that a reward is offered to whoever finds the pet. If a reward can help speed the recovery process and find the pet faster, that is a small price to pay. And if someone was kind enough to take care of the pet after finding it and while waiting to return it, then they can have all the money in the world, if you ask us.

That is what we would have told the sweet hooman in the story below, after they felt guilty for accepting an $800 reward for finding a neighbor's cat. They did a good deed, and we understand it can be weird to accept a prize for that, but they definitely deserve it.
