Rescuer finds friendly tuxedo cat stranded in the rain, shelters him overnight and learns he may belong to a neglectful household, considers giving him to a kind couple instead of returning to possible owners:'I don’t believe it's a good environment'

Stolen or rescued? Maybe it's a bit of both…This individual was put in a tough spot when they found a tuxedo cat shivering, alone and stranded in the rain atop a neighborhood hill. No tag, no form of identification to return the cat to its owner, so they took him in for some temporary shelter, food, and cuddles until their owner was discovered! Multiple posts on Facebook, from offers to take him in to multiple shelter suggestions, yet no one claimed direct ownership just yet, only the intention to do so…

But after a few hours of rescue-bonding, a certain household, let us call it: The House, is suggested to be the highly likely owner of the cat. The problem? Well, The House is clearly an unsuitable environment for any cat…Their garage is always left open, putting their pets in danger, and the household as a whole just radiates N-E-G-L-E-C-T…Would it be so unethical if they gave the cat to the seemingly loving and kind couple who offered up their home instead of attempting to find out if it belongs to those who occupy The House…?

Maybe giving this cat to another family will spare it from 9 lives filled with danger and neglect? It might be unfortunate for their previous owners, but it's known that any caring pawrent would do whatever it took to get their little, furry baby back, and it is painfully clear that its owners have most definitely lacked that type of urgency.
Sometimes a lesson is the most effective push for change.
