'Trash Cat' Dumped and Locked Inside His Carrier on the Side of the Highway, Gets Found By 2 Caring Hoomans Who Give Him a Furrever Home

Discarding household items is simple. We live in a society where there are a lot of ways to dump, recycle, or donate your used things, so if you're responsible, it's fairly easy. It's standard protocol for a decent member of society to follow proper refuse laws. However, if some dirtbag cat owner decides to get rid of their kitty and doesn't even have the decency to bring them to a shelter, you know you've got a hooligan on your hands. 

This orange cat in our next viral story was rescued because a few girls on the highway saw a cat carrier on the side of the road–with him locked inside. 

'Trash Cat', as he became fondly known, was just your average orange cat with his purrevious family. Except, they decided they didn't want him anymore. So instead of taking him down to the shelter to relinquish him, giving him a chance at a good life with another (more loving) family, they dumped him on the side of the freeway, like a regular pile of garbage. 

Lucky for this orange, his fortunes turned when he was discovered, rehabilitated, and ultimately adopted by a girl with a huge heart for justice and of course, cats.
