I haven’t written anything because we haven’t fostered any kittens. However, a few days ago in a routine checkup with an adopter Barbara found out that Dexter, my precious orange tiger, went missing. We were told that he got out and hasn’t returned for a few days which is unlike him. Does this mean he’s been outside before?
As we found out yes he’s gotten out before and returns later in the day. Or so we were told. Barbara and I went out today for a bit and drove to his neighborhood and looked around to see if we might see him. We took a carrier and some car food. But, unfortunately, we didn’t see him.
Later in the evening after Barbara posted to Facebook on the ARM page that he was missing. then we find out that he has routinely been out and an animal control officer let us know he was picked up,dead from a car hit, and that’s that.
It has to happen but doesn’t it really, does it? ARM has adopters sign and swear that they won’t let their kitten or cats be outdoor cats. In this case the aformation was just false.
And Dexter is dead.
