i think my friend is going to spill about the cat that i stole !!?

Question

i posted a question yesterday about how to catch a pregnant cat that was abused.
i caught her today after school,
but someone saw me taking her, and they told the owners.
the cat's already at the shelter,
and my friend was with me when i took her but i think she's going to spill.
the owner asked me about it and i denied it,
but i'm worried my friend will tell the owners what we did.
i'm not worried about getting in trouble,
i just don't want her getting that cat back.

what do i do !?

Answer 1

All the sentiment is great, but now, how about some reality? We may not like it, but THIS is the law. You stole someone's cat, intentionally. All the authorities need to prove that is this "friends" testimony and testimony from the animal shelter as to who brought it in.
. Animal cruelty laws are barely enforced and unless there is concrete proof that this animal is abused, the shelter will hand it right back to the righful owners.
I'm sorry, what you did took a lot of guts and I wish that the laws were different. You SHOULD be worried about getting in trouble. You told the owners a bare faced lie. Now they're going to find out the truth. If they get a case of the *ss you're going to be in a world of sh*t.

Answer 2

I don't think a shelter would give an abused animal back to its owner. Were there clear signs of abuse such as very skinny, smelly, dirty, or mangy fur? I think you did the right thing to turn it over to the authorities and your friend should keep her trap shut. Try calling her and ask her if she is going to keep the secret because you are worried about the poor cat. If she is any kind of friend then she will keep quiet. If she gets scared and tells, then you still did the right thing and let's hope the shelter does not give the cat back. If the shelter does give it back....well you did the best that you could do and you should pat yourself on the back for that!

Answer 3

You have got to inform the refuge who the cat belongs to and ask them to not point out you. Tell them that you just took the cat seeing that you idea it was once in approaching damage. They will seem into the problem and make a decision what to do with the cat. Withholding information is usually a dangerous factor even though, seeing that if the cat simply has anything medically incorrect with it that makes it appear adore it's getting abused and you're taking the cat and nobody is aware of what occurred then it might be a nasty drawback. What in case your puppy bought mange and anyone idea you have been doing anything to it and took it with out telling any person who it belonged to. They might very good were abusing the cat, however believe approximately this, in the event that they abused the cat and allow it external might it hold coming again? It's no longer like different cats do not live to tell the tale at the road. Good success together with your delima.

Answer 4

Taking the cat to the pound didn't help the cat as if it is not adopted within a week it will be put down. You should have reported the abuse. Also taking the cat and finding a home would have been a good option, or at least letting it go in another area where it would have the chance of finding another home as some people would not go out and get a cat but if a cat turns up they are willing to keep it.

Answer 5

I hope the shelter you brought the cat to is a "no kill" shelter.
Otherwise, some will just kill a preg. cat to avoid the unwanted litter.

You won't be in trouble, the cat was loose in public and you being a good citizen rescued it.
I hope the shelter will have a policy to hold the cat till the litter arrives and at least wait to have her spayed before releasing to owners.
The owners will have a "board" fee to pay for the return of cat.

You did good.

Answer 6

I wouldn't worry about it, they won't be getting that cat back. No sane shelter would DREAM of giving her back to them.

You were doing the right thing by taking her to the shelter, you not only possibly saved her life but the kittens inside her too.

Do your parents know? If not, I'd tell them. I'm sure they'd be very proud of you, and would help back you up to the shelter. If needed, they can also confront your revolting neighbour about their disgusting behaviour, and tell them that no, they won't be getting their cat back ever.

Keep in mind, you're in the right here. You've always got the threat of calling animal charities into this, as I'm sure the pregnant cat has some scars of some sort that will act as proof.

Hope this helps, and well done :)

Answer 7

Well, abuse is abuse. Did you tell the shelter that it was a stray cat or that it was an abused cat? Do they have any idea that there was an owner?

Don't lie. If you're asked by the owners, tell them exactly whay you turned the cat in. Tell them you can't stand animal abuse and that it's not their problem anymore. They can work it out with the shelter, who will take the abuse allegations seriously.

Answer 8

Tell the shelter what the conditions were why you brought the cat in, they will probably investigate.

Answer 9

tell the people at the shelter about it, and they can look into it!
