animal control?
2 years ago a 6 month old stray cat came into my house and stayed. He's happy and thriving now.
I put up posters. Put him on Craigslist. Flyer ed the neighborhood. Registered him on lost and found animal sites. For 3 months, I drove the neighborhood looking for signs. I did everything.
I got him shots at a free clinic and they didn't check for a chip. I honestly hadn't thought he might have one since he had no collar and I hadn't heard anything in months.
Fast forward two years.i took him in for a checkup and they found a chip. I asked them to call the owner to tell her he was OK and safely rehomed.
They left messages for her a month ago.
Today I called to re register the chip to me.
She called, angry, saying I stole her cat, says she reported me to animal control, filed a criminal complaint and notified my vet to turn him over if I take him back there.
My cat is so happy here and although he has the run of the yard, never leaves the patios.
Help?
What will happen? I tried to talk to her to negotiate replacing the cat for her but she just screamed and swore and wouldn't listwn.
She doesn't know where I live or my last name. Just my number.
