Woman Found An Abandoned Cat Stuck In A Carrier In A Ditch Before A Snowstorm
A woman in Connecticut came across a heartbreaking sight just before a snowstorm hit, and the abandoned cat she found was lucky she noticed it in time.
While walking in Wolcott, she spotted a ginger kitten zipped inside a carrier and left in a ditch with no food or water. The discovery quickly led to a rescue, a police-style search for answers, and a wave of attention from people upset by how the cat was left behind.
Now the kitten is safe, and the question is who did this in the first place.

Once the woman found this kitten, she had the Wolcott Dog Pound take the cat into their care. This ensured that they could check on the cat's well-being and, at the same time, keep it warm and fed for the time being.
The carrier stands out among the mulch, but not enough for the cat to be immediately noticed.
People could have easily walked by and never noticed the carrier. When the Wolcott Dog Pound took custody of the cat, they turned to Facebook to remind people that abandoning animals like this is the worst way to "rehome" a pet.
Wolcott Dog Pound provided details about the cat's abandonment and simultaneously asked if anyone knew anything about the person responsible.
Thankfully, the kitten was unharmed when they took custody of it.
A non-profit organization of animal law advocates has raised awareness about this issue and offered $1,000 to anyone who could provide information about how the kitten ended up in the ditch. Like the Wolcott Dog Pound, they are also eager to find out who should be held accountable for this act.
And it gets even messier than the adoption-fee accusations, like in the case where a rescuer was accused of selling animals.
There was an overwhelming response for adopting this cat, and there is a bright chance that it will end up in its forever home.
There were multiple factors that could have led to the demise of this cat, primarily starvation and freezing during the snowstorm. Although this cat started on the path of abandonment, it has fortunately moved away from that fate and ended up with numerous people wanting it to be part of their homes.
This truly demonstrates the lengths to which kindness toward animals can go. This woman's compassion, along with the efforts of Wolcott Dog Pound and Desmond's Army, has saved another innocent life.
Now the kitten has a second chance, and someone may still have to answer for how it got there.
Before the Wolcott Dog Pound could warm the kitten, a Redditor got slammed for trying.
