There have been emails flying back and forth between some of the local cat rescue people all day about a poor, scared 2.5 year-old male cat. His owners, who have had him since he was kitten, put out the word that they wanted to "get rid of him" because he was hiding all the time and peeing all over the house. They suspected he was stressed because of a recent move and the addition of a dog to the family, but did not seek vet care/advice or try to do anything else to help this cat.
This morning everyone was scrambling trying to find foster care for him. Unfortunately, the family took the cat to the SPCA early this afternoon and requested he be euthanized. They complied.
I've said it before, but have to say it again. I'm so tired of people thinking
this is an acceptable way to deal with their pets. This cat deserves to be remembered and know that people cared enough to try to save him. I hope
he's now happy and and peace.
