We hope, feline fam, that one day we will never have to post about something like this ever again. 

We truly hope for that world, where there will be no more people who think it's okay to just dump a living animal in a random parking lot and leave with no consequences. We hope that there will be no more cats that could face life on the street, needing homes. But today is not that day, and we have a long way to go before we get there.

Today, instead of wishing for change, we're going to celebrate the present. Thanks to a friendly fellow cat lover, the kitten in this post now has a loving family and will never have to expurrience a life of hardship. They caught two people dumping him in a Petsmart parking lot, and they swooped in to save the kitty and the day. Unfortunately, the two escaped, but all that matters is that this cute kitty is okay. Thank you, hooman!

    I'll preface by saying I found him a home! He's perfectly safe with a family friend who's already got a vet appointment set up.

    I was going to Petsmart to pick up some supplies for my cat and I saw these two people dropping off a kitten outside the store. They got in their car and drove off before I could ask them | anything and I was too worried about the kitten walking into traffic to grab their plate numbers.

  • Don't you think their should be laws against dumping or doing something wrong to animals? We understand that they're not people, but they still have feelings. How can we expect to move forward as a society when we don't teach love and respect for all living things? Especially cute and fluffy ones?

    I grabbed the kitten and took him inside to get him away from the parking lot. He looked around 2ish months old and didn't seem to have any health issues. I ended up driving around to a shelter but they wouldn't take him so I reached out to some people I knew and luckily someone offered to take him.

    He was the sweetest thing ever and just curled up in my lap the entire time I was driving. He's in good hands now. My friend named him Ozzy.

  • We hope that they step on many Legos, that their soda will always be flat, they get stuck at every red light, and every plane they ever take will be delayed at least five hours (with no compensation, obviously). That is the very least we wish for them. The rest we can't write here.

    SpectralHuntersIT ⚫5h ago We used to have an Ozzy years ago. We currently have a cat named Crowley (I love Supernatural) and I always call him, and sing, Mr Crowley when I'm playing with him. I LOVE that they named him Ozzy.

    (much later than my normal volunteer time). It was fate. But thank goodness my fiancée knew what to do, I spent half my birthday crying because I thought he wouldn't make it. Now, a year and 2 months later, he is thriving and menacing his brother and sisters.
