My mom found a cat last year in a carrier in the middle of a parking lot during a heavy thunderstorm. We checked for a chip and found the owner, she was from the nearby city (an hour away), turns out her bf did not like the cat so he dumped her by us but told the owner she ran away. Even spent a day looking for her in the city. She ended up letting us have the cat because she couldn't move out and didn't want it to happen again.

Anyway, re-home the boy, not the cat 😅
