It’s not uncommon to see someone toss trash on the side of an Ontario road, but it is heartbreaking to see someone leave a furry family member behind like this. Pickering Ont. Animal Services reported that staff found an abandoned male cat and his belongings tossed on the side of the road while driving by Brock Road on March 16 at around 8 a.m.. A photo posted of the brown tabby shows him looking up into the camera while perched inside what appears to be the top of a cat house surrounded by snow and his scratching post. Abandoning a house pet like this is extremely neglectful, as they are left to fend for themselves against coyotes, traffic, and the weather, chances of survival are slim. Animal Services is rallying for public help and is asking anyone with information on the cat to come forward. Animal Services cannot comprehend this act of cruelty. If you are looking to re-home your pet, bring them into the shelter, they will ensure they are kept safe and taken care of, also giving them the best chance at finding a new home, it’s as easy as that. The brown tabby will be looked after and “assessed medically” at the shelter before they go about finding a new adoptive family for the little guy…..Ed
