The plot thickens.
Turns out, the neighbor girl told Big Sister. Big Sister is about 16 years old.
They both came over today, and demanded entry. I let them in only after making them promise to stay only five minutes, because I have a calculus final tomorrow. The younger girl had told the older about how Baby was at my house and wearing a red collar I put on her.
I had a talk with them and found out the following:
Little Sister and Big Sister have been away lately, visiting their aunt. Otherwise, I imagine, they would've come over to see about Baby.
They live with their stepfather, a man we'll call John. I've seen him; he's just as dirty as the rest of the family. (I don't blame the girls; they don't know any better; but the adults should.) They tell me that he doesn't like Baby Girl because, when she was a kitten, she did her business on his carpet. (Baby Girl's used the litter box perfectly while she's been here.)
So when I told them about Baby mewing outside the house, they said that it was probably because John doesn't like Baby, and didn't bother to let her in. (Mom was also home; I saw her.)
I also mentioned that I had found over a hundred fleas on Baby when she'd first come here; and that she was skinny, and had been left out in 90-degree heat. While they were gone, nobody had taken good care of Baby. (They don't take good care of her while the girls are home, either; but at least the girls let her in sometimes.)
I said that, if they moved away and left Baby behind, I would make sure she was never put on the street or in a shelter.
They left without taking Baby with them.
I'm expecting Big Sister to tell Mom, and the whole family at my door next...
