Even worse is the ones we find "dumped" in the park. At least this woman is trying to find a home! Not that I agree with this, but "dumping" is even worse!

That is to bad the kitten has to find a new home. Sometimes breeders give up there cats who can't breed any more, think this could be the case?

There are many legitimate reasons she might be having to find the cat a new home. Please don't assume the worst of everyone. She/he is at least taking the responsibility to find a new home for it, hasn't dumped it at a shelter with no explanation, sent it out to "fend for itself" in "the country" of anything.

i agree. Maybe the lady is elderly and just can't keep it anymore or there could other reasons. Maybe she is doing it for the best of the cat. The cat will find a good home instead of being put in a shelter.

Since I work at a shelter some, I see the ones that no one wants, beautiful, loving cats, all breeds and all beautiful. I wonder if these people try to find these wonderful babies homes before they dump there there? We got 3 absolutelt beautiful dolls in there just this week.... What gets me is they turn them in with their collars still on them sometimes..

I guess, It just upsets me....

The People,who are so excited by the Kitten,often ignore the Adult Cat,turning them,into lazy Cat Couch Potatoes,then are bored,when the Cat,doesnt play anymore,and sleeps All Day! You ahve to keep,your Cats active,by buying them Toys,and then getting them active!

Our Humane Society has two lovely cats up for adoption. They are 9 and 5, declawed, and were turned in because of a new baby in the house!!!!! Now THAT makes me furious.

Catlady1945,

Me too!! The stupid, irresponsible pet owners are the ones that have no clue as to what the word COMMITMENT means.

I remember one time young couple came into the shelter to surrender their cat that they had since they were first married. They just had a baby. I looked at them and said, "So, what're ya gonna do when your kid is no longer cute and is in the terrible 2 stage, surrender him???" Boy did I get in trouble for THAT remark. But I don't care.
