Last night at about 2am my SO gets home from bball practice and comments on some cat crying outside, a teeny kitten. Today, at about noon, we leave to run errands and we see that same cat. It's outside a fenced area on a stoop a few apartments away from ours (all the apartments' front doors are fenced in). 5 hours later we get home, it's been pouring rain and that same cat is still outside, soaking wet, shivering, skinny and meowing. So... we took him inside, fed him some wet food, which he devoured... and are debating what our next step is.
Did we "steal" him? We don't know what we're going to do - if we're going to take him to a no-kill shelter, keep him, etc (btw, we THINK he's a little boy)... but I'm feeling a bit guilty. But obviously the owner doesn't care about him, right?
Here are some pics of the little guy, they are deceiving as he is teeny and skinny, smaller than Baylee was when we got her (and she was 18 weeks).
I'm torn... I just feel so bad for him and can't understand why someone would treat an animal like that!
