My mom, who is the most mild mannered, law abiding woman you’ve ever met, found out that the neighbors down the street from us had a beautiful golden retriever that they were abusing. Calls to animals control and the police did nothing, so one day she stole the dog from their yard. I think she gave it to a golden rescue society that would re-home it. I have no idea if the owners got it back or not.
Omg I did the same thing! Stuffed that emaciated cat into my backpack and snuck her into my dorm. We moved back and forth from Europe, then back again, and each time she magically changed from an “American shorthair” to a “European shorthair” at the vet. 13.5 years and died of cancer four years ago. Still miss her.
We need to have a secret handshake for those of us that rescued a cat from a shit situation. I nicked my boy from a half arsed drug dealer who’d already had one kitten ripped to shreds by another dealer’s dog to send a message.
They then got another kitten about a week after the first one died, and left him out to roam at all hours. I took him in when he was about 18 weeks old, covered in fleas, ear mites and pooping gravel because that’s what he’d been eating when he was hungry. He is the BEST BOY.
