I can’t stop thinking about what I witnessed yesterday

I have to let it go as I’m not well myself and have been scammed twice recently. I was on my way home from hospital and went into a bakers. There was a smart woman in there I’ve seen her before I can’t be sure but I think she has addiction issues. She was managing two cat carriers and had very hissy young cats in there. I asked her where she was going with them she said she’s been evicted and no one will take her on so she was looking for a foster situation. I got my phone out to give her some numbers she said no she has no phone, no money, no purse and would I look after them! At that point I burst into tears as I already feed 7 outside and I have cancer I worry enough about my two. I begged her not to set them free but to go to a vet or something. They were well fed.

now I can’t stop thinking about them. She had nothing else with her. I called a lovely woman I know through the strays and she said she could have fostered them. I can’t really go looking for her and I don’t even know if it was true.

im trying to recover but I’ve been up all night thinking about it. Could it be some kind of scam?

She was in a bakers with no money? Doing what?

Sounds odd OP.

Honestly, I wouldn’t give this a second thought.

Concentrate on yourself

as pp said it’s all very odd. No money, no phone but standing in a bakery . Sounds like she was looking for an easy solution to having to take them to the vet or shelter. It’s all fine OP. Just move all and get well, it’s all fine

it takes a very evil person to hurt cats - that type of person wouldn’t bother to put them in cat carriers, they would just release them. She obviously had plans , but wanted to make things easy by giving the job To you instead.

And the carriers were brand new and big ones. If only she’d have gone to the library next door where my rescue friend works
