Hello all, I thought I would use you as a sound board and ask for some advice. There has been a beautiful Maine Coon girl that has shown up at my office for the past 2 1/2 weeks. She is typically there in the morning and stays there all day, occassionally trying to get into the building (I work in a multi-tenant office). We have always assumed that she showed up to the office during the day and left at night. Well anyway, she has been more aggressive about getting inside the lobby and has gotten in a few times.
Anyway, I have been getting to work earlier and have noticed her there sleeping on the patio furniture - it doesn't seem like she has been going home. To make matters worse, the building owner has threatened to "dispose" of her so today I acted. I called a friend to take her in and took her to my friend's during my lunch hour. She is now in a home and safe.
The people from Albuquerque Cat rescue say that she exhibits the traits of an abandoned pet and a cat that has a home would not spend the entire day at the office. She does not seem to be malnourished and she is not scraggly looking. My fear is that we have taken someone's pet but she will have a home now - Albuquerque Cat rescue will foster her until a forever home is found. Did I do the right thing by getting her off the street????
My office is in downtown Abq. so there are quite a bit of hazards...I feel good that she is safe but at the same time my heart is aching because some owner may be missing their cat.
