Jan - did you post it into the Yahoo blind/deaf/specialcats group? I hope this woman is capable of understanding why she is being lambasted for her behavior, though if she is dense enough to believe setting a blind cat "free" in the Bronx is better than taking it to a shelter then perhaps not.

I did a home visit on a couple who were considering adopting a one-eyed cat that I'd scooped up on campus, slowly starving to death because he'd been "set free" already one-eyed, had been hit by a car and had a broken jaw. They saw him, knew his history, but when I visited and asked about the litter box area they showed me their back garden with a broken fence. When I turned them down, they were very shocked.

I don't know that we have anyone on PT in that area, but hopefully there is someone with contacts there.
