Chris Supposedly Lost My Cat, and Then Lied About It.
We went through Rover.com to have Chris watch our 8 year old Aussie Shepherd and 9-month old Bengal cat. I provided written and verbal instructions that specifically stated to NEVER bring the cat outside.
Well, Chris claims he felt bad that the cat didn't get to have fresh air, so he stuck him in his carrier and left him unattended in his condo complex's shared yard. Some amount of time later (he's not sure how long), he noticed the carrier door was open and the cat gone. He didn't call us to tell us this, didn't post fliers, didn't call Rover, the shelters, or local vets to report our cat missing. In fact, he wouldn't return my texts or calls when I was trying to arrange pick-up! When I did finally get ahold of him (the day we came home from our trip and supposedly 1 day after our cat escaped), he told me our cat was staying at his friend's house. It wasn't until we went to pick up our pets that he admitted to loosing him.
To make matters worse, Chris has done little to help us look for our baby. He's now refusing to talk to both of us and is flat-out ignoring us. In fact, when he drove past us last night while we were on foot searching, he didn't even pull into his driveway; just pretended he didn't know us, and left the complex again, right after pulling in!
His story makes no sense- for example, why would you bring a cat in a carrier outside and leave it unattended? Our poor cat must have been freaking out. And why was there so much left over food if our cat was lost the day before we picked him up? We suspect that either the cat was lost days before when we are led to believe, was sold, or was injured. because Chris refuses to help us, the search is that much harder.
The police are now involved due to the suspicious circumstances, and we'll be calling a lawyer to at least get the money back we've spent so far on recovery. I sincerely hope we find our precious kitty- he means the world to us. But if we don't, we'll sue for that, too.
Bottom line: Chris is a lying, careless snake that should NEVER be trusted with your pet. Stay away from him and avoid the pain, anguish, fear, and costs my family is facing because of his careless and deceitful ways. Please keep us in your thoughts and hope we find our baby soon. read more
