    in my apartment complex some guy just moved out and told my neighbor he was “moving somewhere with dogs that wont like the cat". As if thats a valid reason to abandon someone who trusted you? Now he waits at his ex owners back door for someone who is never coming back. My neighbor told me about this and i finally found him for the first time yesterday after his ex-owners have been gone for a week.

    I got as close as he let me to give him food to build trust so i can catch him and take him indoors asap. I have a cat and dog already so i dont know if he will get along with them .. im also moving cross country soon. Anyone in Seattle area have room for this lil guy? I will take him indoors asap and get him to a no kill shelter if i cant find anyone... it's heartbreaking that anyone could do this. i just cant understand it

    zepla OP. 4 hr. ago · edited 1 hr. ago UPDATE: With the help of a fellow local redditor, I've put out a cat trap, and (once we catch him), we have a safe place for him to be while we choose the best possible candidate for his forever home (she is also one of those candidates interested in adopting him)! This post has reached the front page and as a result I've received several offers, so I am doing my due diligence to make sure he ends up in the most stable, secure and loving home possible, with

    hours and i JUST saw him sitting RIGHT NEXT TO IT just outside the gate. wish me luck in catching him tonight so we can get him out of this cold and rain! I'll make a full update post as soon as he is safe and sound! 10:30pm PT update: he ate some food in the trap but somehow managed to step over the mechanism so the gate didnt shut !!!!!!!!!!!

    we pushed the food further back and tested that it works, it does, we re-armed it and waited for a while. we saw him again and he got scared off by someone walking a barky dog so will check again in an hour! we are committed to doing this tonight reddit! 203 Reply Share

    KellyJoyC ¿Bunny 8 hr. ago edited 5 hr. ago I live about 40 minutes from Seattle. I will take the cat. Send me a message. Edit to add. I live in Sultan. I have a cat that I took from a woman on Facebook who was panicked because her best friend had said, "if anything happens to me, promise me you'll keep Rickie," and then he died and she couldn't actually take Rickie. She was crying and freaking out, and well,

    birdworksour - 9 hr. ago Save that little man, he looks so scared 2.7k Reply Share WatchOutItsMiri - 9 hr. ago That was my thought too! That poor little guy. He must be terrified. He probably has no idea how to fend for himself in the wild or stay safe from predators. The guy that left him basically gave him a dh sentence. What an absolute piece of s' t. 1.3k д Reply Share

    Cow_Launcher - 6 hr. ago His entire world has changed and he has no idea why. It breaks my heart that someone would abuse the trust of an innocent animal who can't understand why he's been left behind. But if someone (OP, or the people who offered help) comes through, I'm sure he'll settle back in again. I wish the absolute best for him. Good luck, OP. 396 Reply Share

    intrepped · 9 hr. ago The only way I'd abandon my cat is if there was a literal o̟ `n to my head. Anything less than d Ch itself and she's going anywhere I go. Fk people like this. They don't deserve their animal's love. 254 Reply Share

    53ndn00dles - 9 hr. ago This is exactly how I ended up with my sweet, senior, FIV positive girl :( The previous renters moved and just ditched her at the house. It was so sad, took her months to even let me pet her she was so scared. Try local rescues and see if anyone can take her in. You can also try reposting this in the Seattle subReddit and may have better luck there 101 Reply Share

    Elderlyat30 8 hr. ago I had a neighbor abandon the absolute sweetest Himalayan cat years ago. We took him in and he was the best boy in the world. They also dyed his fur pink before they moved. Some people don't deserve to have animals. 43 Reply Share

    intern_nomad · 9 hr. ago I'm in Everett! We've got a wonderful shelter up here called Purrfect Pals and they will absolutely take him. They are no-k II and a non-profit. We've got a territorial full grown guy at home or I'd offer to take him in. If you are able to catch him and need transport I'd be happy to pick him up and transport him to Purrfect Pals for you! 81 Reply Share

    rmsmithereens . 9 hr. ago Void I can't stand the fact that people exist who don't treasure their pets like beloved family members, because that's what these poor fur babies deserve. I hope this poor cat gets a forever home where he'll be loved and cherished. 22 Reply Share

    Creepy_Trouble_5980 - 8 hr. ago I live in a neighborhood, and 3 of my neighbors just moved and left their cats. I have taken lots pf strays to get shots and neutered too. People seem to think cats are wild animals that can survive. 3-5 years of life expectancy. Always do your best to get an abandoned cat a home. They usually are wonderful companions. 20 Reply Share
