Redditors Applaud A Lady Who Unknowingly Rescued Strays From An Old Woman Who Keeps Tons Of Cats But Can't Take Care Of Them Properly
What could be better than being able to help people and animals? Acts of kindness are ways to give ourselves peace.
Among these good deeds are fostering strays and rescuing animals to put them up for adoption so that your efforts won't go in vain. Fortunately, various organizations take care of strays that can eventually be kept as pets.
These institutions don't just rescue stray animals; they also help neglected and abused pets that require rehabilitation before getting adopted. Every animal deserves a forever home, and these organizations help bridge animals to people who will truly care for their well-being.
Today, we're looking at a story of a woman who is concerned for the welfare of stray cats. She made an effort to rescue the felines in her area.
She takes all those cats to an animal shelter so that they'll eventually find a forever home. The population of felines in the area has reached a point where they are already impacting wildlife.
She took it upon herself to solve the situation by setting up traps that aren't harmful to the cats. One day, an old woman saw what she was doing and discovered that she was the reason why her cats were disappearing.
The lady shares what her area is like on the AITA subreddit.
She sees tons of cats in her neighborhood.
She is cooperating with a local shelter so they can jointly deal with the situation.
The condition of the cats she caught
All the cats she surrendered to the shelter are safe.
Someone caught her setting up traps.
Apparently, some of those cats belong to the old woman.
Living with the old woman isn't the best for these cats; you can already see it from their physical condition.
It seems that the old woman is too attached to the felines she keeps.
She halted her efforts for some time.
The old woman doesn't see the point; all she wants are her cats.
Experts say that a cat owner should not have more than five cats. For those who love felines, they need to make six their maximum.
If these numbers are exceeded, cats tend to display behavioral problems. That's why experts are against having too many felines in a household.
Eventually, the original poster decided that it was best for her to continue trapping the cats and surrendering them to the shelter.
What's admirable about the lady is that her efforts go beyond rescue; she also wants to address the issue of cat hoarders.
On top of all that, she befriended the old woman who hoarded the cats so she wouldn't become too attached. What a hero!
Everything went well in the end for the old woman and her cats.
She's no longer fit to care for the cats, so those felines are finally getting rehomed.
You can't help but applaud the original poster for all her efforts. Not only did she save the lives of those cats, but she's also helping the lady become less lonely.
She did what was right for the cats, and although she was initially criticized for her actions, she didn't give up her efforts.
