Unfortunately, I am writing about two abandoned black cats on Hillside Road in South Deerfield near the trailhead for North Sugarloaf. There are only two homes in this area on just a winding road that too many people speed on.

I went outside in the evening and heard a cat. I saw a black cat and then another appeared. I went and got some cat food. They were afraid but they did eat. They wouldn’t come inside so I made an enclosed bed for them.

I had to go away for three days. My sister fed them while I was gone. When I came home there was only one cat. I checked with a person who walks frequently, and he saw the other black cat dead on the side of the road.

In a few days, the cat came in and is the most loving and friendly pet.

I can’t believe someone would do this to two nice animals. Instead of dropping them off in the woods, bring them to a shelter or try to find someone to take them so they have a chance at a good life. I hope what goes around comes around.
