Words can't begin to discribe how I feel

At work today the word quickly got around that a 14 year old cat had been surrendered. I didn't get why people were upset, it isn't the first time, people are idiots but this one goes beyond being an idiot. This women dumped her cat on us after having it for 14 years because it didn't get along with her new kitten. Yeah, instead of rehoming the kitten, who would be much easier to rehome and isn't attached to her she thought hey why not get rid of the 14 year old, who has spent all her life in this home with us. I can't even try to understand your thoughts on why this sounded like a good idea to you, but then maybe you didn't really care for the cat in the first place. If you did you wouldn't be doing it to the poor thing. The face in the carrier was scared, and confused. She didn't understand what she had done to be in this noisey place, but you didn't care you worthless women.

Do you realize that finding a 14 year old cat a home is next to impossible! She's going to rot in a cage here, no one wants a cat her age. They'll give her one glance see her age on her kennel card and move on to a younger cat while she rubs against the bars trying her hardest to get their attention, get some affection and find a loving home because her last idiot of an owner dumped her senior ass in a shelter for a kitten. If you didn't want the cat why didn't you jsut do her a favor and put her down. It would have been kinder then drop her in a shelter were she is going to rot in cage. I hope one day when your old your family drops you off in a homeless shelter, for some hairbrained reason.

I can't even explain how I feel right now, I can't begin to express myself because words escape me. Plus most of them aren't overly nice when I do think of some. You'll probably do the same thing to that kitten when it gets old. I'm glad you were told off when you gave the reason why you were giving her up, I'm glad they told you to never come back and try to adopt an animal from us and I pray that that poor kitten either dies before you see it as too old and you deside to dump that one too for another kitten, or that you put the poor thing to sleep instead of dumping it in a shelter where it will have little to no chance at being adopted among all the other younger cats and kittens it is now sharing its home with.

Yes the kitten was cute but guess what that kitten is going to grow into a cat, and that cat is going to keep growing older and older until it too is 14 years old. Where did you get the idea that pets are disposible? You wouldn't do that to your children what gives you the idea you can do that you an animal, to a 14 year old cat! When you took in that poor cat, you became respsonible for it for the rest if its life, not until you got bored with a senior cat. Before getting a pet think 15 years or so down the road, can you still see yourself taking care of that animal? If not then don't bloody well get one, its not fair to them or to the shelter workers who get the "pleasure" of watching this poor soul sit day after day in a cage slowly giving up on life.

I Adopted Your Cat Today

I adopted your cat today.
The one you left at the pound.
The one you had for ten years
and no longer wanted around.

I adopted your cat today.
Do you know he's lost weight?
Do you know he's scared and depressed
and has lost all faith?

I adopted your cat today.
He had fleas and a cold,
but don't worry --
You've unburdened your load.

I adopted your cat today.
Were you having a baby or moving away?
Did you suddenly develop allergies
or was there no reason he couldn't stay?

I adopted your cat today.
He doesn't play or eat much.
He's very depressed,
but he will learn again to trust.

I adopted your cat today
and here he will stay.
He's found his forever home
and a warm bed to lay.

I adopted your cat today
and I will give him all that he could need.
Patience, love, security, and understanding.
Hopefully, he will forget your selfish deed.
