The cat returned a couple times this week.One time I took the cat back to its owner and when I asked "Is this your cat"?she said yes.I told her that I have been looking after the cat feeding it and such for sometime,She said to the cat "At least I know someone is taking care of you" and as Iwas handing the cat back to her she said "Do you want to adopt him?"and smerked.I snached the cat back and asked"Do you want this cat or not?,because if you dont there are shelters out there that will take this cat and find him a good home if you dont".She said no its not like that,the cat is a tom cat and I cant keep it in,everytime I open the door he takes off,and he's not neutered.So I went on telling her that she cant continue leaving her cat outside and that if the cat wants to be out now and then,she should buy a harnus and leash so that it wont stray off in the streets,and told her she should get him neutered.

Surprise,surprise the cat came back a couple more times.Lastnight he returned again.The weather was awful,high winds,very cold temp.So I made him shelter out of a storage container.I tipped it on its side and I wrapped the outside with a mattress cover and filled it with blankets and a fleece nightgown of mine.I put in some food and a mouse toy and left it on my doorstep for him to sleep in.Well slept there all night and never got up until 8:30 am.I watched him go to what he knows is home to be let in.That didnt happen.The owner left for work again without letting the kitty in.I waited until 10:00 am for the Humaine services to open and I took him down.

I walked in with the cat and asked where do I go to drop of a stray.She said "even if this is your cat we will still take him"She thought it was mine,and I was trying to get rid of him.Well I guess the fancy cat tent that I had him in didnt help much,and the fact I wanted them to get in touch with me to let me know the outcome didnt help either So I explained that I called last week about this situation and that they were going to issue a roaming cats notice to the owner and they told me if the neglect continues than for me to capture the catand bring him in.So thats what I done.I asked if the notice was given and she said NO it wouldn't be sent out yet if you only called last week So nothing was done on there part to help me lastweek when I spent hours on the phone trying to help this kitty.

The lady told me that he is around 10 months old.They will keep him for 7 days to see if the owner claims him,if the owner dont claim him in 7days he will go up for adoption.They will keep him as long as they have the room and he gets along well the the other animals.She made a note on the paper for someone to call me to let me know what happens to him

I couldn't help but feel sad when I left him there.A couple weeks of looking out for that little guy I guess I was a little attached.I know I done the right thing and it is for the best.

I will let you know if they contact me.

Thanks for everything,Marlaina.
