'She showed up at my house with the cops': After five years and thousands in vet care, feline foster mom refuses to give cat back to original owner after they abandoned him 'temporarily'

Feline fam, we're frankly feline some type of way. We understand that life happens and things get in the way of your plans, but you can't give someone your cat as a 'temporary' foster, then come back 5 years later and expect them to comply.

The cat has moved on, and you should move on as well. If you really cared about the cat, you would want what is best for it, and we all know how disruptive it can be to continually move a cat around to new homes.

This is why we say this (almost every time) - cats are a 15-20 year commitment. In the purrfect scenario, your cat survives to be a sweet, soft senior cat who just cuddles and sleeps all day. But if something happens and you and your cat have to be separated for some reason, prepurr to say goodbye, unless it's for a short amount of time. It's not fair to the new pawrents who developed a bond and probably spent thousands on their care while you were gone.

If the cops agreed that the cat was hers, then the cat is hers. She could officially seal the deal by changing the microchip to her name, and then it would be all but set in stone. We're sympathetic to a lot of things, but this is not one of them.

The only thing we can say is for her to let the papers do the talking. Save every bill, every vet prescription, every photo you've taken of her. She is your cat now and if you have the evidence to prove it, you have nothing to worry about.
