Question
I moved out of the state recently and my friend agreed to watch my cat for me. Her husband came home and chased him around the house and put him in a box and drove to a field and let him loose. Is there anything I can do?
Answer
First and foremost, I hope you get the location where the cat was abandoned and can find the cat. Animal abandonment is against the law. The police and humane society can be contacted to do an investigation. If there is enough evidence to prove abandonment, the perpetrator can be arrested. Good luck!
