美國佛羅里達州去年12月發生一起棄養事件,一名女飼主將寵物貓「傑里(Jerry)」帶到收容所,表示貓咪「太熱情、話太多」了,所以不想要繼續飼養,消息曝光引發愛貓人士抨擊。所幸經過1個月的等待,傑里終於等到願意愛牠的新主人,擺脫陰霾迎接新生活。
綜合外媒報導,原飼主向布勞沃德縣人道協會(Humane Society of Broward County)表示,傑里實在太熱情,不但會在門口迎接人,還會「一直說話」,種種舉動都惹火了她。人道協會工作人員心疼地說,4歲大的傑里是隻可愛的貓,喜歡被撫摸和磨蹭人,沒想到卻成了被棄養的原因,「因為牠太愛主人,主人不愛牠,所以被帶到了收容所......。」
@humanebroward Too affectionate That’s the reason 4-year-old Jerry was given-up. Jerry is a sweet cat that loves to be pet and rub up against you, but his former owner said it annoyed her too much. Jerry loved her, but she didn’t love him back, so she turned him in to our shelter. Now he’s heartbroken and confused. He’s hoping that someone will love him for who he is - a lovebug! Will you make Jerry your Valentine this year? #cat #catrescue #adoptme #catsoftiktok #foryoupage #adoptacat #fyp #foryou ♬ original sound - Humane Society Broward County
傑里的故事在臉書、TikTok等社群平台曝光後,很快就引起愛貓人士的留言討論,「不敢想像傑里有多難過」、「很多人抱怨貓不親切,然而這個可愛的寶寶,卻因為太親切而被拒絕」、「你不想要一隻深情的寵物,就不要養寵物」、「太讓人心碎,這讓我哭了」、「希望這隻可憐的貓,有人會給予牠很多愛」,大家都很不捨貓咪的遭遇。
值得開心的是,日前布勞沃德縣人道協會傳出好消息,透露傑里被認養了,終於找到一個永遠充滿愛的家,可以盡情表達牠對主人的愛意。人道協會工作人員說,傑里的新媽媽在社交平台看到牠的影片,隔天就來到收容所認養,「因此非常感謝這段日子以來,幫忙分享影片的大家!」
@humanebroward Jerry was adopted! Sweet Jerry has found a loving forever home where he can be as affectionate as he wants! Thanks to all of the shares on social media, Jerry’s video was seen by just the right person and she ran to the shelter first thing this morning to adopt him! We couldn’t have done this without all of you! #HappyFriday! #fyp #foryou #cat #foryoupage #adopted #goinghome #catvideo #purr #adoption #catrescue #animalrescue #florida #fortlauderdale #catsoftiktok #tgif #friyay ♬ original sound - Humane Society Broward County
