Your post is the most sensible one on here. My neighbors had a beautiful, soft, friendly gray kitten and turned it out in all kinds of weather. Recently, we got the after affects of Hurricane Sandy, and it turned rainy and very cold. This poor little kitten came to my door, hungry and shivering. I brought her in and here she’ll stay. They have been looking for her, but she isn’t in any hurry to go back with them. She’s quite happy here and well fed.
These neighbors have heathen kids who seem to love animals, but don’t have a clue how to take care of them. Did I mention that they also left her litter box outside in all kinds of weather and expected her to use it like that?
Of course, the children don’t know how to care for the kitten. The parents don’t know how and don’t care to learn how, so how can they teach the kids?
Bless your heart for taking the kitten in. I wouldn’t give her back to those people. She has a much better home with you.
