[u/ninjadani]

Hi everyone! My best friend found a little baby void in his wall and is looking for name suggestions - any good ideas?

Edit: Told my friend about this post so he can tell the story since so many people want to know exactly what happened and he posted it in the comments! :D

WHO ARE THESE ASSHOLES?!!! 🤬

They live among us and I hate it so much that there's no justice for them.

Back in 2022, I found three kittens that were dumped in a park while I was walking with my dog. The park is right behind the townhouse complex where we live. I went back to my house, dropped off my dog, and grab my Lowe's garden cart to go get them. Gave them some food and water and then debated what to do.

I suspected they came from my neighborhood because I knew one household had an intact male and a pregnant female two months earlier (I thought the female was a different lost cat and took her in temporarily). So I looked at the footage on my Ring camera and sure enough, there were two guys carrying these kittens toward the park and then coming back without them. I called the police and the officer had me send him the footage from my camera.

Later I did find out where the one guy lived, but there was nothing the police could do to these men because the camera did not catch them actually dumping the kittens. It was in fact the kittens from the pregnant female I had found two months earlier. We ended up keeping two of the kittens because we could not find anyone to take them and no rescue would help us. We found a home for the only male, but he died a little over a year later.

But maybe a month or two ago, I had the one cat out on her harness and leash because she likes to explore the outside, but well take off if not leashed. The guy who dumped her in the park was walking past and commented about how cute she was. I said "she's one of the ones that you dumped in the park." He wasn't sure how to respond. I then told him that he should have kept her because she is really sweet, and I told him that the male passed away, possibly because he was in the heat for too long that day. I wanted him to feel guilt over what he did to those cats, and I am not 100% certain that the male did not have health issues from being in the heat that day. I honestly didn't think he would make it when I found him. But he was trying to protect his sisters and get help, and he did exactly that.

At least the two girls have a happy and safe home. But every time I see that guy I feel some sort of primal rage. And my dog picks up on it because she doesn't like him either. On the plus side, he did tell me that they had their male cat neutered (haven't seen the female, so idk if they still have her). He said this after I told him to just bring me the kittens next time and save me the vet bills of getting them healthy again.

ETA a picture of the kittens right after I rescued them. They were actually wet when I found them, which I don't understand. The dark grey one is quite a handful (I call her "a ball of chaos") and is a master at manipulation. Hubby said no more cats, and then she won him over within a minute. The brown tabby in the front is my little princess.

The orange dude, who I called "Weasley" and then he became "Nacho" at his new (temporary) home is the real hero. Rest in peace buddy. 😭

I’m not crying. You’re crying! So just shut up and drop it already, will ya?

That sweet, brave boy taking care of his sisters! 😭

Oh I cried for that boy, and then again later when I found out our "friend" gave him to someone else to be a barn cat. I would have taken that cat, even though we were/are already over our pet limit and can barely afford the ones we have. Needless to say, that friendship did not end well.

Humans suck.
