I bet there's not more than 25 vets in a 15 to 20 mile radius in that area . I would take that sticker to every vet office.

The guy that did this did not drive 50 miles from home to throw the cat in the creek. I bet he lives within 10 miles or less from there

do to him I won't post here.

And I hope the POS that did this gets what's coming to him/her.

So happy this Cat will have a chance to live in a loving family.

Thank Goodness for serendipity.


How can people be so horrible? Thank goodness we're not all like that.

That cat looks well fed and cared for. I would get this was a malicious act by someone other than the cat's owner. Perhaps a vindictive ex boyfriend or neighborhood sociopath did this.

Then I hope Chance's humans see this story and recognize his photo and are soon reunited with him. Some people really would be nasty and cruel enough to do something like this to somebody's beloved pet.

...though it's hard to be sure. Some asshole owners have a cat that gets on their nerves and seek retribution. But as you said, the cat is well fed and has been to a vet. Hard to believe an owner who would care for a kitty like that would try to kill it so cruelly rather than just taking it to the pound or abandoning it if they wanted to be rid of it. Probably someone trying to hurt the owner. Evil person!

I hope they catch whoever did this, lock them in a box with rocks and toss it into the ocean!

The person who dumped the cat is an awful human being.

I hear a story like this I want to find the asshole who would treat an animal like this and give them a taste of their own medicine.

Thanks, Mathew!!!

I DON'T advocate this, quite but I was told a tale by an enormous, affable stoner I worked with at a summer job that he had once observed someone ahead of him on the road swerve to *hit* a turtle, killing it. He said he followed the guy home, jerked him out of his car and decked him, on the turtle's behalf.

I still think of that story sometimes and smile a bit.

Today (or yesterday?) on the way to work, I noticed the oncoming lane had stopped, backing up traffic for a half-dozen cars or so. A gangly guy in shorts and a T-shirt was trying -- and gradually succeeding -- to scoot a huge (and very much alive and highly uncooperative) soft-shelled turtle off the roadway to safety in the wooded area nearby, with his flip-flopped foot.

Most people are decent, and many go out of their way to help animals. A few, unfortunately, are just the opposite.

Both stories just made my day!

It shat all over her. Gawd, turtle poop stinks something fierce. We placed it in the trunk and drove it to a field nearby and freed it. Took a while to get the smell out of the trunk.

When my friends and I were just out of high school & traveling all over Texas, when we saw a turtle trying to cross the road, the driver would slam on the brakes & the person riding shotgun would jump out of the car & help the turtle cross the street. For some odd reason, we would drive on laughing because no one, including the turtle, got run over. I just hope there are young people today doing the same thing because it really was fun.

A women coming out of a vet's office sees two small dogs confused and disoriented in the middle of a busy highway, . Tries to rescue them and gets hit by a car and, sad to say, died after several weeks in a hospital. Bless her soul. The dogs ran off into a field , it was reported and never seen.

Agreed, most people are decent. Hope this asshole gets caught .

...is the matter with some people? Jesus H!

breathing the same air as I am.

I know of a situation where somebody needed to get rid of an adult cat. They took the cat to a no-kill animal shelter. All they had to do was to make a donation and give them the pet carrier as well.

We took in a seemingly abandoned kitten last week for emergency foster care - he crawled into the weekend house of people who couldn't keep him through a broken screen. He was pretty much starving. He'll be fine with us while we search for a long term home for him - but two local no kill shelters simply had no more room left for him. It's critical to support low cost spay and neuter programs.

(unlikely) what the hell? That is a huge cat? What is it? A Maine Coons?

Meanwhile another potential serial killer is out there...

This would have been a great start to one more Stephen King cat story.

His last one, I believe, is "The Cat from Hell."

This could have been "The Cat He Threw Back"?


I'm kidding!!!

They help in restoring the faith taken away by the as yet undiscovered degenerate who tried to drown that beautiful kitty in the first place.

Some people are hideously cruel and some people are amazingly awesome.

I do volunteer work for a no-kill animal shelter. I have to add here that some shelters do not require donations. However, you do need to call ahead. There is a legal procedure that must be followed. They may not be able to take in just any animal the minute somebody shows up with it. The procedure will be different in different places.

chance at life.

note to the disgraceful "human" who did this: someone, somewhere, knows who you are. I hope you are found, and given the same treatment you gave to this beautiful little being. that is mild compared to what I would like to do to you.

but a person saved this cat.

So *all* people don't suck.

To the person that tried to murder that cat...maybe you be CURSED with a lifetime of hairballs! And I mean the huge sage brush variety, not some tiny pile of fur.

He's not only been well cared for, he's been overstuffed.

First thing they need to check for is a chip. That will tell him which vet chipped him even if the owner didn't pay the fee to register him. The vet would remember that huge a kitty.

If they can't find the owner and get a reasonable story about how this happened and who did it, I hope his new people give him a long and happy 8 remaining lives.

Sadly it often takes somebody who sucks to give the good person a chance to prove it.

Wonder if he's polydactyl. So relieved this had a happy ending. Cat murder wannabe will get his--Karma and all.

if I had happened to catch the person who did this.

Thanks to Matthew for his effort to save this wonderful animal. Damn the person who threw this poor kitty into the water. I hope they catch whoever did this awful thing and throw the book at him.

I can't imagine how terrified he was. Thank you Matthew.

Who could do such a thing?

Hope he finds a good home and I hope someone ties a rock around that criminal's neck.

Thanks Matthew!

dump him or her in a cold body of water to slowly sink. GODDAMNIT.

That jogger is awesome. Well done!

Then we'd have a little chat about mortality, and just how frail most human bones really are.

Sophie, my little rescue Tuxedo kitty, was barely tolerant, as usual.

hope he gets a better home than the last one... kudos to the jogger who acted on instinct and was able to save this beautiful animal..
