Well, today at noon, my neighbors' 8 year old daughter showed up to ask me if she could borrow a pet carrier from me. According to her, they were feeding a stray cat for a couple of days, and she was pregnant and about to have her babies, so they wanted to take her to the vet.
As I was about to leave and in a hurry, I gave her the carrier and asked her to tell me later what has happened.
Well, just a few minutes ago, her father came to bring the carrier back. I asked him what was going on and how the cat was doing, and he said she was pregnant so they brought her to the shelter!!!
Well, a part of me is happy that she did not stay with them (judging from the way how thoughtless they are with their rabbits and guinea pigs), but I'm also very disappointed to see how easily people dispose a cat at the shelter. That poor kitty mommy chose this family in her hour of need!!
I wish I had more time, money and space!!! Or at least knew a few more people here who would adopt the mommy or/and the kitten. I hope the kittens won't be killed at birth; I don't know how this shelter is working. Maybe I should go there for a visit tomorrow, or at least call and ask how the mommy cat is doing.
