Shocking how some people treat pets as disposable. I'd no sooner give up my kitty as give up a child. She's part of the family. We went through some very lean times when I was a kid but my mum would never think to get rid of any of our pets.

Our next door neighbours emigrated to Australia and just left their cat behind! One of the other neighbours took her in.

We got our cat from Cats Protection and I don't know how anyone could have given her up. She's adorable and so clean and well behaved.
