Phone your local animal protection agency and explain the situation. Some people!

AND on the other hand, I was just reading an article in the paper today about a student who had found a cat injured by a car. She took it to a local vet clinic and then went around the area trying to find the cat's family. She was told that the cat was a stray who had previously been hit by a car. SO the vet clinic performed the surgery for nothing (about $2000 worth) and the cat's prognosis is good. One of the clinic employees wants to adopt him. I am going to phone the clinic and see if I can send them a donation. So some good news anyway
