Your friend doesn't sound like a good person to have any type of pet. Cat's are so easy to care for when you are only out of town for a short time. If she can not handle the simple task of leaving enough food and water, she has no right owning a pet.
Stand up for the helpless. Don't give the kitties back. You are not a bad person, only the opposite. You are a GREAT person for saving the kitties. That will change if you send the kitties back.

Don't give the kittens back. If she wants to make a stink about this have your friend Carl verify the story. I would ditch her as a friend completely. I don't want any friends that can do that to a living animal. Hello kittens, need more than a house with minimal food. I am sure you'll make the right choice. If you give them back and something bad does happen will you be able to forgive yourself? I couldn't especially that I had all three of them in my possesion. Btw make sure all you windows and doors are locked she just might try to steal them back.

Please do not give the kittens back to your girlfreind or something worse may happen to them. Your freind may think she wants those kittens, but it looks like she has no idea how to take care of them. Besides, her lifestyle cannot allow her to give any kind of proper care and nurture for any type of pet. Maybe if you explain to her that she was lucky that the authorities did not learn about the abandoned kitten in her old place; otherwise, she could have been charged and fined and the kittens taken away to a shelter. Tell her for her own good, you will keep the kittens.

You have done a good thing and are a better human being than your so-called 'friend.' DO NOT give the kittens back! They will most surely be in for more abuse and neglect and/or meet an untimely death. Your 'friend' is guilty of animal abuse and neglect! It's time to kick this so-called 'friend' to the curb!
I would report your former friend to the Humane Society or ASPCA. Anyone who would do such an awful thing to poor defenseless animals would not remain a friend of mine.
If you cannot keep the kittens, or place them with more responsible pet owners, you should take them to the local animal control (pound) where they may have a chance of being rescued by some animal rescues and/or placed for adoption. Good luck...you will meet better friends.

You're friend is an idiot. Tell her she can't have them back unless she is willing to let you come over everytime she is out of town and check on them. If she gives you ANY grief about that then don't give them to her. Stand your ground and if she tries to threaten you with police or something similar threaten her back with reporting her for animal cruelty. Tell her that you will make an anonymous call every time she goes out of town and report her. Do you really want a friend that would treat a completely dependent animal like that. You can tell the character of a person by the way they treat animals, children and people who are dependent on others. You're friend is a bad person and would treat you just like that if you were to need her.

No, I would not give the cats back, and she could be reported for animal cruelty if she wanted to press the issue. If she is going out of town a lot and not properly caring for the cats, or seeing that they are fed every day, then she should not have any. I could not sit by and watch as cats are neglected, so I think what you've done is commendable. And if she is upset about what you've done, then she must not be a very good friend, in my opinion, and she does not have the cats' best interest in mind. I would not worry about keeping her friendship, if she can do this to defenseless animals. Good for you! Maybe you could keep them or adopt them out to good, loving homes.

You are not a bad person and I would not give the kittens back. If she would leave them there that long without food and water she is not a responsible pet owner and should not have any pets. The next time she calls tell her you will give them back after she stays in the house for six days without food and water.
I bet she will tell you to keep them.

certified vet tech here . i would have a sit down with your friend . ask her if you could possibly keep the kittens for her . tell her how you feel about the situation and that animals need more care then she is giving . ask her if you could take this burden off her shoulders and that she is welcome to visit them . if you really want these cats and can give them better care such as check ups etc.... then i would keep them, .. but talk with her . make her understand where you are coming from . tell her you want to help her out and you know how much she loves the cats but that you love them to and have more time to really take care of them and give them the attention they need to grow into healthy cats . they need to have food out at all times , they are growing kittens and there litter box needs to be changed at least 3 times a week

Call your local humane society or animal shelter. They will take the kitten in. Plus they probably charge the owner with animal cruelty. Those poor kittens. Dont give them back to her. Your not a bad person for caring about the kittens. She the bad person for leaving them without food. Please dont give them back. You can even call the police on her. She might get mad but she have to get over it.

I think you should keep the kittens. Your friend clearly doesn't have the time or responsibility to care for them. I'm sure if you explained to her that you would be more than happy to find homes for them or keep them yourself, she would understand. She needs to realize you are doing her a favor. It sounds like the little guys would be better off with somebody who has a little more time for them.
