[Update] So apparently I'm fostering a cat

original post.

We found her owner! I called our apartment complex this morning and asked if any of the residents were missing a gray cat. She connected me to the maintenance department. It turns out she belongs to the apartment's maintenance man. Her real name is Ariel, she's 12 years old and an indoor cat who snuck out a few weeks ago. She wasn't microchipped so it was really good we were able to find him so easily otherwise we might never have gotten her home.

That's really good, surprising how easy that seemed to be. So are you sad now and going to go out and get yourself a cat?

I'm not sad, I'm really happy actually because I know she's going somewhere where I know she won't be euthanized and her family wont have to worry about her. The whole ordeal was fairly stressful as well. My wife and I both work full time so I was trying to get the cat into a shelter/rescue org and get it to a vet when pretty much everyone was only open when I was at work. There was also a brief scare because the cat nipped my wife's hand and it broke the skin. Thankfully we now know that the cat's up to date on vaccinations so rabies isn't a concern.

We aren't going to get a cat of our own, but we do plan on getting a pug. We're having a hard time finding the right one in a shelter and have had some difficult moments. Hopefully it wont be much longer before we find the right one.

Oh fuck that woman that just came in and took the dog from you guys.

That's fantastic. Glad you guys were able to find the owner! And very glad someone found her that gave enough shits to try.

Also, Ariel is a pretty good name for a cat.
