So I had a cat that I bought from someone and there came a time when I was not able to have her in my home with me though I didn’t want to get rid of her. I left her on a street that a friend lived on and asked her to watch out for my cat and make sure she was okay. I later on ended up moving in with this friend on that street and saw my cat every day. Between the time I dropped her off in that street to the time I moved into that street was a couple weeks and a lady on that street had “claimed the cat as hers” though she never let the cat inside her home and hardly fed her. I met the lady one day and she told me that if I ever took the cat she would shoot me. I kept visiting the cat outside on that street for almost a year. The last time I visited the cat though she was skinnier than I’d ever seen her and she was so dirty and had scabs all over and a scar on her belly with her underside shaved. I couldn’t leave her there. I was in histerics about my poor kitty. Did I do the right thing picking her up off the streets and taking her home with me where I can take way better care of her??? Or is what I did illegal???
