Why it worked

Summary

On-screen text

Two days ago, you find an abandoned cat, dehydrated and starving. You take him to the vets to find his owners. They say they're on holiday and have left no one to care for him. You take him home, share him on Facebook and find his poor excuse of an owner. You reach out, concerned about his welfare and neglected state... and this is their reply I feel extremely targeted on fb. Its not your cat to decide to take him to the vets Baffled at how some people can treat an animal so cruelly. And to speak to me like I'm the problem for caring about an unwell cat...
