Stray cats do not live a good life, they should be adopted and given love and care.
Although stray cats are free to live and roam around the streets but definitely they are not living their best lives. They are often underweight and are dealing with many life-threatening diseases which can only be treated by a vet. So, if you see a stray cat, take it to the vet and adopt it. A couple found a stray cat that looked underweight and sick. They called the local humane society and they found out that the cat was not microchipped.
The local humane society took the cat away and waited for a week to see if the owners contact them and take the cat away but no one contacted and after a week, the shelter contacted OP and OP spent $425 and adopted the cat. After some days, the old owner of the cat showed up and told OP to give it back to them since their cat was missing and they have been looking for it everywhere. Scroll down to read if OP gave the cat back to the old owner or not.
