*Twister wanders over from the dog side, sniffing around. Don't scratch me, kitties, I'm a nice pooch!*
If I had to guess, having seen this sort of situation many times before, I'd say this kitty belonged to an elderly person. Perhaps that person passed away or became ill and had to go live with family or in a nursing home.
You would be shocked and appalled at all the beloved pets who are either just tossed out, surrendered to kill shelters or euthanized by a senior citizen's family members when the older person can no longer care for them. 
"We give dogs the time we can spare, the space we can spare and the love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made" - M. Facklam
"We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
