MODS-If this should be in Relationships & Family please move it there, but I thought this would be a good place to start.
The prelude to the story is a long one but I'm not going to go to far into it..
This had started summer 07-
My Dad had a girlfriend who was leaving for a job in England, and needed somewhere for the cat to go with the ability to get the cat back after her stay in England. So my dad said he would take that cat, which in turn was dumped on me and my mom cause we already have two cats.
She said she would be back in a year which was the amount of time agreed to in order to have the cat returned. A few months later there was an email received that she might be out there for 4 years or not going to come back at all and was responded with something of the sort of "we are more than happy to keep Pete permanently" which she responded happily knowing Pete would have a good home.
I love this cat dearly don't get me wrong as I go about finishing the story, he has really become my cat through out his time here, in turn this situation breaks my heart even more..
He having front claws and only being about 9 months old when we took him in loved the carpet and began to shred it, my mothers thought was she was going to have to pay the deposit lost on the condo since her cat shredded it.
skip a few more months, and letters were being received that we had stolen her cat. She has been told many a time that after her "4 year" email that we were going to keep the cat since she "abandoned" him since she was going to be out there longer than she had promised in her agreement and that if she was going to continue to threaten us that we were going to file a personal protection order.
The emails and letters stopped....TILL TODAY.
She had a pair enough to show up at my mother and my home, basically telling us that he isn't registered and that she had appointments to update his vaccinations. And as my mother goes to tell her, "I am not going to deal with this right now. You left the cat, we had intentions of returning him, but when you said you were going to be out there for longer we took on permanent responsibility for him". She proceeded to tell my mother that she tried to kill herself in the fall over this!(I would never put a cat or any animal into the hands of someone so unstable.) She left after my mom politely told her she needed to leave, THEN went to my father's WORK, and told him that she was going to send letters to our neighbors shouldn't trust us.
She also left us a letter stating that she got our address through the police department, which my mother confirmed that they aren't able to give out residential addresses, we have no idea how she got my father's work address. That she has informed the police and all animal shelters in the area that we have "stolen" her cat and will distribute fliers that there is a stolen cat in the neighborhood. Then on the second page, is basically all "God will smite you" with the direct quote "Hell is an eternity!!"
Also I feel it would be unfair to pull a cat out of a home with other cats he loves and people he loves too..
I don't really know what exactly to do..I really just wanted to vent on the whole issue.. She is stalking my family and I am honestly afraid at what she might do or try to do..
P.S. -just informed that she went to the police department, when the police called my father, telling him there was nothing the police could do, and that she would have to sue for the cat, in return for over a years worth of expenses (including condo deposit).
