Is very upsetting to see that, if the animal was indeed dumped. I always give the benefit of the doubt. Our local shelter is always full to capacity. No cats are accepted. A few years ago a woman in town passed away and her family found 14 cats in her house. No one could get near them and they all took off before they could be adopted to anybody.I also had a female cat that every once in a while disappeared and I later found out she was a few door down, happy as a clam, and making me look bad.
