While at the hospital with Mike today, I noticed a bike leaning against the outside wall. There were two cat carriers stacked on top of each other, and so I went over to see what was up. What I saw sickened me. Four cats crammed into one carrier, three in another. Cat feces and urine all over the carrier and the cats. Older cats not kittens. I went into the hospital hoping I could find out who these cats belonged to. By chance I met the man, sat down and tried to talk to him, but his lights weren't on and no one was home. When i gently suggested I would be happy to look after his cats until he was in a better place, he got extremely aggressive with me and threatened to call the police. Instead, I called the authorities, they came out and did nothing. They told me, he has food for them and water for them, so it wasn't abuse. When I told them about the feces piled up, they said they "didn't see anything out of the ordinary." I feel so heartsick for these creatures being peddaled around town crammed into these carriers by someone who doesn't have the capabilites to care for them.
Today was a sad day for the animals-
