I live in a cul de sac that has some rough people in it. Its blocks of council flat with a lot of poverty and some drug taking.
Basically there is a flat here where the owners kept an indoor cat. It escaped and got pregnant. 9 months ago the cat turned on the kittens (it was locked in a small flat with all the curtains closed with 2 kittens) and ever since then it has lived outside. After 6 month and most of winter a neighbour was letting it in. Then I built an outdoor box. After 9 months I knocked on the owners door. she said she wants to keep the cat and that we need to stop feeding it and letting it in our homes so it will comes back.
She said she would let it in her kitchen window and it could live in the kitchen. The box I made was positioned for the cat to see her opening the window. We all stopped feeding it and for 10 days she hasnt opened her window to let it in at any point. I can only conclude she wants it to starve to death. Anyway after a 3 days of the window closed I started putting dried food biscuits in the box again.
All the cat charities and rescues say to leave this cat like this because the owner wont declare she doesnt want the cat anymore. It was in that box in the snow and gale force winds and torrential rain.
This woman has had every chance. Its been 9 months. And the cat could get pregnant again. Its outside day and night unspayed. If it wasnt for my box this cat would have died from the elements.
I am thinking about doing something reckless & if its the wrong thing to do I hope you will give me an alternative.
I can only take the cat to the rescue centre if the owner has declared they dont want it. So the only thing I can do is to lead them to think the cat has gone because it died and for it to turn up at the rescue centre as dropped off anonymously.
I cant believe they say its their cat and they leave it with no food at all. I have checked and the window is never ever open. The cat is in the box every night. During the day it goes around neighbours houses begging them to let it in to live with them! It wants to be indoors. It was an indoor cat!
One man has his windows open and the cat was trying to be in there all the time. It wanted to live with him but I asked him and he said he doesnt want a cat.
I am on the verge of taking this cat to the rescue centre. Its been 9 months like this. I cant just sit as it gets pregnant in the box outside. Please advise me. Should I encourage the inevitable that this cat vanishes on a night at 0 celcius and they think its dead but its actually in a rescue centre having been dropped off anonymously? I cant give my identification because I cant declare where the cat came from because without the owner letting go of this wish to starve and cause the cat to die in winter the only way the shelter will accept the cat is if no information is there!
Ive concluded this anonymous vainishing is the only way to not end up in conflict with these people who are very rough. If the cat vanishes that looks natural but if anyone is a 'grass' on these rough estates they will be hated by the whole estate. Im just trying to save this cat from pregancy in a gutter and dying out in the frost. The longer I have this box out the more likely these neighbours will turn on me because they said to stop feeding it.
If animal services turn up it will be a witch hunt for the grass so this vanishing cat is the only option I can see.
