Cat causes woman to lose job and Facebook friends (not my cat!)

There's a charity shop just up the road from my office, I always call in on a Friday for a browse. Recently a little cat has appeared there; he makes himself comfortable on the suitcases outside and all the passers-by/customers stop and make a fuss of him. Today I went inside (after purrs and headbutts from the kitty) and idly commented to one of the ladies working there what a gorgeous cat he is. She replied 'Oh yes, he's lovely. Feral, but Doreen took him to the shelter and got him neutered, pity I can't take him but I've got three of my own' etc etc. I sorted of nodded sympathetically and said he looks happy and well fed.

The other lady (I think the manager) then butted in 'Well Doreen no longer works here! I had to let her go last week because she let the cat into the shop and it got trapped inside overnight and wee'd on the floor! And then she sent me a load of nasty messages on Facebook so I had to block her, and now Brian and Gordon aren't speaking either. I've had enough!' Shock

I backed slowly out of the shop, stroked cute cat and fled. I really want to join the local Facebook group to glean more info Grin (names have been changed to protect the innocent Wink)

Could they have a home if theres tow of them and they are both friendly? Are they definately dumped can you ask someone to take the brother in or get him rehomed somehow? Can you ask Doreen which one she took to the vets?

Jobs come and go, but Facebook friends- OMG!

I never found out what happened to Doreen! Every time I go in there, there are different women looking after the shop and all very territorial. All have cropped blond hair though and strident voices Grin

That is an absolutely gorgeous cat. Where is this charity shop? I need his double. I think Doreen told shop lady where to stick it and slinked off into the night like a cat lady she is. Here is my cat, telling me work is over for the day.
