So I brought Halle to the vet recently to have her spayed. She's the black cat dumped here a few days before Christmas with no note, no call, nothing. She wailed all the way in the car to the vets, she was really quite distressed, I wonder was she worried she was going to be dumped again after her last experience in a car. Well, it turns out she was already spayed. The poor pet went through an unnecessary operation, there's no other way of telling with a female cat except opening them up. At least with the males, it's obvious if they've been neutered. So, unnecessary stress for Halle, unnecessary time wasted by the vet and unnecessary money spent by Mayo Cat Rescue paying for it.
Words fail me. Couldn't the person who dumped her at the very least have left a note in the door giving her name, age, what food she likes, whether vaxed, spayed, any other health issues? Is it too much to ask? Clearly it is. I CANNOT understand such people, cannot understand how anyone could dump an animal in a strange environment in freezing cold weather without as much as a backward glance or a second thought. Such people are a million miles away from the way I and many others think, regard and treat animals.
Anyway she's fine now, back home and settled again.
