I went to this nasty guys apartment, who started with over 40 cats and I slowly vetted some and rehomed them, others went to a sanctuary. Anyways, I went there 2 weeks ago to pick up a gorgeous sweet but skin and bones and covered in fleas and earmites calico cat and her babies. I let the babies get adopted a little younger then I normally would because of the condition of the mother. She was exhausted as she has been constantly pregnant or nursing for about the past 9 months.
Anyways, as I was leaving the lady who lives there was like "hey wait I have something else for you to take" (I was thinking oh brother, what now?) But she calls upstairs (the stairs to the upstairs apartment are on the outside of the building) and this little puppy about 10 weeks old comes slowly down the stairs. She picks her up and hands her to me and tells me I have to take her. She said the people upstairs throw her outside alone all day when they are at work or whatever and they don't feed her. She was pretty thin, covered in fleas and the fact that she was loose outside all alone and no one was home upstairs, I took her.
Well I posted on a dog forum that I post on seeing if anyone was interested and I told this story and the couple responses I got accused me of stealing and doing something illegal. Nothing about the fact that she was being very much neglected, running loose, thin and not fed... I don't know. I am NOT giving her back regardless of what anyone else thinks. But I just wondered what you guys think... because I trust what you guys all say... I know the humane society wouldn't do a thing about it, they rarely do anything. So I didn't bother calling them.
What are your thoughts??
