'We're not a long-term boarding facility': Previous owner calls new pawrent a “cat thief” and demands rehomed cat back, despite giving up her fluffy feline on a whim half a year ago

If you are forced to rehome your cat, that is your time to say goodbye. There are no "take-backsies" after giving your fluffy feline up to another purrson that loves them.

Rehoming a cat, and introducing them to a new household, is a daunting task. Cats, despite all of their stereotypes, are sensitive creatures and take a lot of time to adjust to new surroundings. It took one of our rescues three full months before she felt comfortable sleeping on the couch, or in her bed. The first couple of weeks, she hid under the bed. You have to give them their space to come to you.

So imagine adopting a friend's rehomed cat, taking the time to introduce it to your own cat, and then falling in love with your new fuzzy feline. Then, five months later, the original owner comes back and demands their cat back! No thanks, this cat is ours now. Don't let the door hit you on the way out! Scroll down to read through the spicy story below.

What happened to H is sad, she gave up her cat and took a chance, and the chance failed. We sympathize with her, but it's not fair to Mina to uproot her life again after half a year because of this. It's not an easy decision, but it is the right one.

No amount of shade or gossiping is going to get Mina back. All it does is make H look like a jealous and petty purrson. It's not a cute look, H, we suggest you take all of that energy and put it into making better decisions, and hopefully, adopting another cat!
