Good Morning! I just read this thread from start to finish. And I know where you are coming from, and I am sure you could turn her in anonomously, but she would probably know it was you, anyways, because you are the only one who knows what she really did. But the thing to think about here, is what if it were her children? Would you turn her in to social services? I bet you would. Those animals cant speak for themselves, and they cant defend themselves either. Out there with no food, and no guarantee that someone would take them..especially nowadays when there are people that intentionally injure and kill cats and even dogs. And for a little cat to be out there with no shelter, and no protection, just makes me sad. I understand shes your friend, but its wrong. Maybe you could tell her that its wrong, and it disturbs you that she is so careless with another's life. It doesnt matter what it is: cat, dog, snake, ferret, her children, they have feelings too. And all a cat wants to do is love you. You know that. And if she ends the friendship over your opinions, then shes really not your friend anyways. And shes a hypocrite if she works at a shelther and then does that mess with just throwing them out.
I know its a hard situation but in the end, you will make the right decision for you, if you havent already. You already called animal control, so I think that you already made your decision. Stick with it, and dont second guess yourself. You're a good person for what you are doing. Not to mention that shes probably teaching her children to be callous and cruel to animals.
Good luck and keep us posted!
