Long story short. We'd feed a cat in our garden that looked v close to death. Found out who owned it and got a message to them. They could not be bothered and had many opportunities to come and get the poor cat and take it to vets. In the end we called RSPCA.
They still didn't so RSPCA pretty much forced them. Not sure if they ever did mind or whether RSPCA checked.
So ended up this cat decided to live with us. Got better but it was old. We sent the owners pics never heard from them.
Months later the poor thing is struggling and we think might need to go and needs to see a vet at least. So I messaged the owners out of courtesy to give them the opportunity to take the cat - bad idea I wish I'd just taken the cat myself and paid. Hes now asking for his cat back after months and telling me hes calling the police if I don't give it back.
I don't get it hes not cared for months. I just don't trust him to take the cat to the vets (won't say if he is or not just wants it back!) I can see him sticking the poor thing in the car and dumping it miles away to save a vets bill.
Like I said wish I'd not told him now!
