Woman Gave Me A Kitten, Now Demanding It Back
Location: Texas, USA
Last Wednesday my partner was delivery driving, and a woman asked him if he would take her kitten, as she recently had a baby and could not take care of him anymore. My partner agreed, and we took the kitten home. He was clearly not well taken care of, covered in fleas, had a bad ear mite infestation, and was kept outdoors despite the over 100 degree heat and the fact that he has an obvious neurological condition that would affect his ability to escape predators. Since owning him, my partner and I have treated his fleas and earmites, are keeping him indoors only, and love him dearly.
Now, the woman who gave him to us is suddenly texting us saying that the cat actually belongs to her babydaddy who works out of town, and that he just came home and is mad at her for giving away the cat, which he claims is his and therefore was not hers to give away, and he wants him back.
I do not want to give this dear kitten, who I have fallen in love with, and who was given to me under false pretenses, back to a family that was not taking care of him. I have not yet had him chipped though. Is this something the police could get involved in? Are there any legal protections for my ownership?
