Kitten who's been neglected by the neighbors shows up at couple's doorstep, begging for a warm home, but just as they decide to take her in, the neighbors collar her: 'They continue to keep the cats outside full time'

It's not the first story about a neighborly dispute and it won't be the last. The couple in the story below finds a small and affectionate kitten keeps coming to their door. They take her in at first, but temporarily. They feed her and care for her, but understand that it's not practical to keep her long term since the protagonist has a cat allergy. Over time, they become more and more bonded with the kitten. They feel bad for keeping it outdoors, but the bond remains. One day, they see the kitten while talking to the neighbor, and the neighbor informs them that the kitten is the son of their big grey cat.

The couple is shocked, they didn't realize that the neighbors were supposed to be responsible for the cat. They can see that the neighbors don't do the best job taking care of the cat, and the longer time goes on, the more they consider adopting the cat. They've made their decision to adopt, and even scheduled an appointment at the vet when suddenly they see the kitten is still outside, but now with a collar on. The neighborly dispute has started, and read the full story below for all the juicy details.
