Cats make great pets for people of all ages and lifestyles, but unfortunately, not everyone is cut out for cat ownership and sadly, this often leads to cats being abandoned and left to fend for themselves. Abandoning a cat is a cruel act, and it can have serious consequences for the animal's physical and emotional well-being.

Cats that are abandoned are often left to face harsh conditions, starvation, and disease, and they may struggle to survive on their own. In addition, cats that are abandoned are at risk of being hit by cars, attacked by other animals, or taken in by people with malicious intentions.

There are many alternatives to abandoning a cat and one option is to surrender the cat to a local animal shelter, where it can receive proper care and attention. Ultimately, the best way to prevent cats from being abandoned is to make sure that they are placed with responsible and loving owners so make sure you think before adopting.

The person in this story found themselves in a difficult situation when they came across a friendly cat that appeared to be lost and abandoned. The cat, who was in poor condition with patchy fur and looking like skin and bones, caught the person's attention and they took it upon themselves to try and find the cat's owners.

After finding them on Facebook and reaching out, they received no response. They continued to check on the house and eventually found out that the family had moved and sold the house.

Feeling concerned for the cat's well-being, the person reached out to their community on Facebook for help in finding the family's new address or contact information. However, instead of receiving help, they received a hostile message from the cat's owner, demanding that their information be removed from the public page.

OP was furious about this so they decided to publicly shame the family by sharing the messages that the cat's owner sent them. OP felt about doing this so they shared the story on Reddit to see if she did the right thing to avenge the poor kitty.

OP felt bad about the fact that they publicly shamed the owners on Facebook, but the people of Reddit did their best to reassure their decision. If for any reason, you want to get rid of a pet, there's always a better solution than abandoning the poor thing.

The comments were encouraging OP's decision, but do you feel like they did the right thing?
