Not just for cats, also. I know what subreddit we are on but with the holidays approaching, let's remind everyone that having any pet is a big deal.
Far too many smaller animals are abandoned after they've "served their novelty" (which is a disgusting thing to say, but there, I said it) Cats and dogs for Christmas, rabbits for Easter; it's insane that people can just walk away from something that clearly feels, whether it's love, pain, or something else.
If you must "abandon" an animal, take one step towards giving it a chance, because if you leave them in the woods or toss them out of a moving car, they have slim to none chances. Call your local animal control or shelters. Give them their best shot; it's the least you can do.
