What a beautiful fella James is. You are not alone in wondering how so many inhumane beings can treat such loving animals in such an unforgivable manner. I have been associated with 3 shelters for many years now and still can't believe it but have grown to dislike alot of the inhumane race after seeing and hearing hundreds of stories like yours. It's people like you who save these animals and the look of love on these little furry faces that keep us going and dedicated. Laws regarding abandonment of animals need to be stiffened - obviously the landlord has the name of who lived there previously but undoubtedly nothing was done. Unacceptable. With all the elections going on, people need to let their representatives know that this needs to be part of their platform otherwise nothing will ever change.
