Cats' Heartbroken Cries Upon Being Returned to Shelter Are Truly Devastating
A video online is showing the horrifying results of abandoning your pet at a shelter. Two cats were heartbroken after being turned over to PuppyKittyNYCity shelter in New York City. So much so, that the shelter managed to capture them crying after being separated from their owners.
The truth of what happens to animals that are surrendered is enough to make you cry.
One of the employees at the shelter shared video of the two cats, Croissant and Danish, crying after they were dropped off.
"This is what it sounds like when you return your cat to the shelter," she said from behind the camera.

The caption explained that the cats were originally adopted from the rescue and then returned when they were older after their owners got divorced. "You can literally hear the terror and heartbreak in their poor little voices," the woman continued.
The cats were practically wailing. They were so afraid.
"You're gonna be okay," she told them. "You're gonna be okay."
The comments section was heartbroken on their behalf. "Returned because of a divorce?! My husband and I would fight over who gets the cats and want to share custody. This is crazy," wrote one person. "I hope their previous owners have a terrible life. I mean that," another salty commenter added. "Over a divorce? Some people really don’t deserve them. I hope they truly find they fur-ever home," a third commenter agreed. "It’s unacceptable. Please keep them together," one person begged.
