'That's fine, buddy, we've got you now': Shelter is contacted about an injured, abandoned, microchipped kitten, contacts his owners, but the owners say that they don't want him anymore

We should spend every day thanking the people working in cat shelters.

We don't know what we would do without the people working in shelters. Nearly every day, if you look, you could find stories of people abandoning their cats. Because some people don't get it - they don't understand how amazing cats are. And every day, every time we come across a story like that, we think to ourselves that instead of abandoning the cat outside, to fend for itself, after knowing nothing in its life besides indoor living, all they needed to do was give the cat to a shelter. It may not be perfect, but it would still be better.

And some shelters are godsent. In some shelters, the people working there go to any length to make sure that the cats that end up in their care are given the best care possible. They save these cats' lives. Without this shelter, Dweeb never would have made it. He was incredibly sick, barely seven months old, abandoned on his own, and when his owners were contacted through the chip info, they said that they don't want him. This shelter saved this kitty's life, and many others, and we are forever thaknful.

This little baby is a kitten. It is not even a fully grown cat yet. They microchipped him, neutered him. They took him in, gave him love and then abandoned him. We can't ever imagine doing that. To a baby, no less. We would accept it if this happened on accident, if they lost the cat, and the poor thing was simply found in this condition after being lost for so long. But we cannot accept this. To think that this family, who bothered to go as far as microchipping this sweetheart, would then refuse to take him back… You know, maybe it is a good thing. Clearly, they did not deserve him anyway. And we trust this rescue a hundred times more than the family to find this precious thing a proper forever home.

We just know, in our hearts, that this little man will have hundreds of adoption applications the second that he's ready. He's not only one of the cutest kittens that we have ever seen, he is also so clearly ready to give love to soneone. He was meant to be a house cat. The outside world, who has already almost broken him, is not for him. He needs love, and we just know that he's going to get an endless amount of it.
