    Ding Dong...Only It Wasn't Avon Calling!

    Tonight we went out and celebrated my daughter's birthday. We had just gotten home from feeding the park cats and were taking care of all ours, when the doorbell rings. Kevin was in the garage so I went to the door (thinking my daughter forgot something) and looked out the peephole, but saw no one! I wasn't about to just answer and kept watching, but never saw anything. Kevin came through heading out the front door to dump the trash, and what was at our doorstep??? Yep, a cat! So someone dumped their pet cat at our doorstep! She appears to be about 6 months old. We will get her fixed and try and find a home. Man, what is wrong with people? We will take her picture and post it soon.

    She doesn't seem to be too scared, was pretty hungry and thirsty but didn't seem thin or unkept. It's all pretty aggravating, for one they just dump her, second what makes them think we have the money or means for another cat? Some people really burn me up!

    Some people just do not think. I keep hoping, but I don't think that will happen.

    I hope that you will be able to find the little one a new home soon. Bless you for being such good people.

    Looking forward to pictures.

    Many Thanks to Kay for the Picture.

    Poor little thing. At least she is in good hands now. But they could have at least stayed at the door and asked if you could take her, not just ring and run. I guess in the long run, it was better than dumping her along the roadside or in the woods somewhere to fend for herself. AAARRRGGG some people.

    Those people won't bother caring for the simple needs of a cat, but have the time and energy to find you, pack up the cat, dump it and ring your doorbell. They make me sick.

    Maybe you can call her Avon? Bless you for taking her in

    What a beautiful cat. At least she is in good hands now. I hope she will find her loving and forever home soon. I also must agree that Avon would be honored to have such a BEAUTIFUL cat with their name!

    She is a pretty cat. Avon would be a good name for her! She will be able to find a forever home with you in charge. I assume whoever left her at your door knew you would take care of her.

    If she was hungry and thirsty maybe the people who dropped her were not her original owners.

    She is a pretty girl and I hope she finds a furrever home soon

    How wonderful that you let her into your home. I know...what choice did you have!! You can't turn them away. That is exactly what the doorbell ringer was counting on!!
    I don't mean to sound unsypathetic but I'm glad they didn't just dump her somewhere or list her on ebay! She is beautiful and I will be praying that you have good luck in finding her a good home.

    Dumb people will never go away and they will never cease to amaze me at how much dumber they can get!!!!

    They knew the suckers didn't they! She is the SWEETEST little thing. We're going to try and get her in the vet today to see if she needs to be spayed, have her tested, and shots. That's the worst thing, we don't even know what kind of medical treatment, if any, she's had. Has she been spayed? Any shots? It's maddening. Then to think we now have to pay for all of this. It sure wasn't in our budget plan. Like Barbara said maybe it wasn't the real owners, BUT...they could've at least asked us if we wanted or could afford to take in another cat!!
