An Open Letter

An open letter to the piece of crap that dumped this poor little one on a country road in the middle of nowhere:

If you have a cat (or any other pet for that matter) it is YOUR responsibility to get that pet spayed or neutered. In the event you cannot or will not do that it is YOUR responsibility to make sure that all offspring born out of your stupidity or laziness can and will be taken care of. It is not ok to take a drive out to the country and randomly drop off kittens to “nice homes” because you don't want them.

Mr. Leonidas here hit the jackpot. He spent one night outside and was brought to me. He will be at the vet within 48 hours to take care of the worms, and fleas, and cuts to his mouth nose and eye (from you or whatever attacked him on his one night outside). He will be neutered, and he will have a warm safe home for the rest of his life....but what about the others?

I'm sure there were others. God only knows how many defenseless little ones you dropped off that day, or have dropped of in the past that weren't as lucky. Ripped away from there mothers and siblings to be dropped off alone in a strange place. Maybe they made it to a house or a barn, maybe they didn't. Maybe the neighborhood dog got to them first, or other cats, or coyotes or cars or any number of horrible fates because you were too lazy or stupid to get your female cat spayed.

And don't you dare whine to me about it costing too much. There are plenty of programs that will help with the cost. If you can't afford to spay/neuter your pet then you can't afford to have a pet! There are no excuses for what you did. You do not deserve to have the joy of owning any type of pet. You don't deserve the unconditional love that flows so freely from our pets.

The Humane Societies, animal control, rescues, are all over-run with dogs and cats looking for forever homes. If you are not spaying/neutering your pets, you are part of this problem. How many of your dumped kittens ended up in the shelter?

I can only hope that when Karma finally catches up to you, she will shower you with all the love and caring you have shown all of the animals you have dumped on the side of the road.

Sincerely,

The (soon to be) Crazy Cat Lady
