I am so fed up. First I have to tell you a bit about my house. It's kind of like a townhouse but probably more in appearance like a duplex. I don't own the 2 bedroom apartment on the other side of me though it is connected to my home. We also have a common hallway that goes into the basement. The guy from the other side died between Christmas and New Years. He has a 12 year old son who has a male tabby cat and the cat is STILL there alone.
The last 4 weeks they've been telling me someone is coming to get the cat on Saturday. Well 4 saturday's have gone by and the poor cat is still there. He wails (and I mean WAILS!)and scratches at the door and is just going crazy in there. Sometimes I don't see anyone there for over a week. I have a key because the owner who passed away gave me the key years ago. He's been sick for years and I kind of watched out for him. If I heard him banging I'd go over and help him. (He'd fall down or pass out and couldn't get up.)
I went in there the other day and the house smells of cat urine so bad I had to cover my face and leave. I didn't see any food or fresh water except the dirty toilet. It's just gross. I feel bad for the cat and he's going so crazy it's driving my cats nuts. Everytime I contact someone, that's when they tell me they'll be over that Saturday to get the cat.
I'm just at my wits end with this situation. No one is taking care of this cat and I don't understand why they don't take him to the humane society or something. That would be better then leaving him locked up in the house alone with no food or water. Sheesh.
