What I would do, I got tired of asking my dad for a new pet and at the time we had a few cats, and when ever i seen a cat that I liked and wanted I would just bring it home. My dad never knew the differance, the only thing he could tell was the dog when my brother stole a dog out of some guys lawn. Ok I know that's mean but, the first owner of bella was kicking her not playfully but out of anger so my brother stole her. My parents noticed a 50lb dog in our yard though. But as soon as we told them the story my mom told us to get her out of the yard then my dad came home and bent down to pet bella and she ran to the corner of the fence and started crying so we got to keep her.

Also I'm sorry for the kittens being treated like that. I would make a few phone calls about the way they treat their animals. There is no reason to cut off whiskers or lock them in a sun room when it is really hot out. We only locked our cats in the sun room so we could vacuume and so we didn't get attacked or anything like that. I would report that honestly.
