I work in an office based on a farm. I started in May and the cat had been there since November, he 'turned up' with a sister who vanished (hopefully taken and rehomed, but who knows) anyway, this cat is not too savvy, he needs rescuing from rooves etc. But is a total sweetheart, he tried to come in the office when it rains and absolutely loves attention. About two weeks ago he was hit by a car and needed his leg amputated, the man who owns the farm said he would be put down because the vet bill was large. My colleagues and I pulled the money together and after care would be provided by a man who rents a field from the farmer. The farmer (our landlord) insists he is a 'farm cat' but he isn't, wasn't born on a farm, was clearly dumped. After his op, I took him home. they've finally noticed he's missing, I don't regret taking him as the snow could've killed him but I'm sooo scared of repercussions, I'm terrible at lying even though I know I won't bring him back.
