I agree with everyone else, you've done a great thing for that beautiful little kitten! Whether or not it was actually abused is a moot point - no cat should live with an owner who boasts about hurting their kitty as that sort of individual will no doubt mistreat the kitty in other ways!

The girl obviously has problems and those imbeciles at your school are no better - I know it is hard when everyone criticises your actions, but you do not need the aproval of such simple-minded morons!

I hope that kitty finds herself a great home & keep us posted!
