    This stinks!  Those tenants ought to be left out in the cold for
    a while, and made to scramble for their own food!  Can you report
    them to the SPCA, and see if they can at least be punished for their
    cruel abandonment of these cats?  Ahhhh!!!  This kind of thing makes
    me SO angry!  
    
    By the way, where are these cats located?  I can't take 2 more,
    much as I would love to, but I'd be more than happy to send you
    a donation for food, if you'll publish an address.
    
    Thank goodness you're there for them....

    Yes, I agree if you know the people by name who left them behind,
    report them to the MSPCA (if you are in Massachussetts) at once!
    
    Please tell us where you are so we can help.

    I also encourage you to contact the MSPCA.  Ask for the Law enforcement
    division.

    Please do report them.  If they go unpunished and their act of cruelty
    ignored, they just may do it again.
    
3062.5I've seen this twice too often, tooCOGITO::SPINNEYThe truth will make you fleeWed Nov 29 1989 15:3618
    this sort of thing doesn't surprise me much. This is how Mozie
    came to live with me when he had been left behind in the middle
    of winter when he was about ssix months old.  And Jemma came
    to live with me when I found her in the dumpster in the back of
    the apartment complex after another set of neighbors moved, she
    was about three months old and obviously wasn't expected to find
    her way out of there, she has been terrified of feeling cold
    metal under her feet ever since.
    The Mspca at the time said they couldn't do much about it as
    I needed to know where the people were moving to and I needed
    proof positive, not just my word that these cats were abandoned
    by these people.  At the time they said that it was easier to
    ascertain ownership of a dog (because of licening records etc)
    than cats.  This wass about four years ago..maybe things have
    changed.
