Moral Dilemma: What do I do, GFY?
Hi folks,
Despite my usual 'nasty asshole' facade I've created for myself on this forum - I'm perplexed. I walked to the local all-night store (I'm trying to get in better shape), only to find that on my way there, a garbage can was mewling. I opened it up, and there was a tiny kitten in the trash. I brought it home and stuck it in a box - in the guest bathroom with some water and I picked up a small kibble when I went back to the store.. maybe 3, 4 days, I dunno.. I don't own cats. I'm deathly (can't breathe) allergic to cats, but I couldn't let the poor thing go this way. Despite my allergies, it's a tiny little multicolor orange/white thing - but I can't keep it, that's against my rental agreement. Vote on what I should do with it, please. I can't keep it, and my eyes are already watering. |

if you can't keep it try to find a good home for it amongst people you know first - then post on craigslist for your city/area maybe, if your supermarkets have bulletion boards pin one up for the kitten - last resort take it to the local ASPCA - kittens and puppies i think always get homes. |

I may try putting some pictures/contact info on the boards at the local supermarkets, but I can't take a decent picture (my printer is an HP 6P; black only, ancient, and a hard worker - just as I like 'em). I just don't want to break my lease or waste half of my working day for 'oh, maybe's. It's cute, but I can't handle it. I put a manual 'timer' (I don't have a normal clock) into the room with it. I'll have to reset it or take it out soon, because if the egg timer goes off, I'll laugh, then feel bad for scaring the poor thing. :( |
I can't cuddle it, because I'll die. How can I make it shut up? I feel like a bad parent. :(
|
If he's a little kitten, call up a couple petstores and see if they'll take him. i know the petstore here takes kittens, but only if they're little cute and cuddly. They don't sell too well otherwise.

I feel bad for abandoning it in the bathroom, but my allergies are really, really, really bad. I've downed like half a pack of Sudafed and it's still hard to breathe. |
put it on craigs, someone will nab it up pretty fast

I'd say eat it. But if it came outta the trash.. that's some pretty nasty pussy =)
|
Grouchyadmin So are you in the UK i take it from the little flags.
Where abouts if its south east can prob help :pimp |
Somebody from the UK that says 'Trash' ?
Take it to a farm..All farmers like cats..They keep the rats away. |
It was livin' the high life in the trash can. Food, shelter, and lots of people to meow at. Why'd you go and move it?

Put some flyers on windshields at the local mall
|
Are you into beastality? just asking lol ..
Well, take it to the market on some busy evening and leave it inside or in lawn. Someone will take it home. |

Unless you're considering killing it, why is it a moral dilemma?
Just take it to the local shelter. |

I sadi : Put it on Craigslist. But I think that any pet shop will take it, especially if it is a kitten, They usually sell fast

BTW I hope that those who said : Take it to the pound. were joking !!!!!!!!!!!
|
Craigslist or find a local no kill shelter. The "pound" will put her down if nobody adopts her.
Thankfully she's a kitten, so I'm sure someone will snatch her up quick. |
A small kitten will pretty much always get adopted quickly, even at the pound. She will be fine there.
|
+1 for a local shelter, kittens get placed straight away. It's the adult cats that have a hard time finding a home.
(In a way that's not always a good thing, since people are going for the cuteness of kittens... a cat aged 1.5 years when you get it is not going to be that much different to a kitten after a couple of years.) |
Take him to the petshop. :) that's the best thing to do, but it doesn't include in your choices so better it him. lol!
|
give it to your friends

Well, folks (and you geoip disabled turds who think I'm related to you): I went outside today (garbage day), and mentioned what I found to my neighbor. She is now the happy owner of a claw-y, scratch-y, mewling annoying fucking cat. Time to try to sleep with my goddamn eyes still watering. |
Do you see my email ?
|
what kind of asshole throws a kitten in a trash can? fucking disgusting society is.

Take it to the pound. They find homes for kittens faster then you will.
BTW, take comfort in all the +karma points you have racked up. :) |

Just ask around in your neighborhood, maybe someone would want a cat

Drop it off at one of them animal donation places...at night..
They will probably give you shit about it if you drop it off during the day... |
I ended up finding it a home with a neighbor. :)
|
that is great news. I was going to ask if you had any friends who might take it.
There are also no kill shelters that you could bring it to if you had to. This way you know it willend up in a good home. If you put an animal on craigslist you may end up givig it to an irresponsible person. |
See if you can find a no kill shelter for him. The local pound will put it down if nobody takes it. Even kittens don't get adopted as often as you might think. Locally less than 10% of them that come in get homes. The rest die.
