Roommate basically abandoned her cat
My roommate has a kitten, about 4mo old now and I’ve been living with her and 2 other girls for about 3 months now. I also have a 3mo kitten.
A month ago she got admitted into the mental health hospital for a variety of reasons, and I got a text the day after asking me to please take care of her cat. Of course, I did since I wanted her to focus on getting better. She got out after a week and stayed with her parents for the week after. I texted her 2 days after she got out asking if she was coming back soon and to please bring wet food since I was almost out of hers. She said she would that night and didn’t show up until two nights later (Thursday) when she stopped by for 14 minutes, dropped off the food and then left. The next Monday her cat got severe diarrhea all over the apartment and I got really concerned so I took the cat to the vet. I communicated the whole situation over text and ultimately took her to the vet and got medication - and paid for the visit. Since then I’ve been trying to see when she’s coming back and reaching out, but whenever she stops by the apartment she’s only there for <20 minutes and is usually hungover, high, drunk or any number of things and has to hurry because her uber is waiting for her. I’ve been feeding, cleaning the pet box, taking her to the vet (and I have a follow up at the vet this weekend), grooming and looking after for almost 4 weeks at this point. The cat sleeps in my room, follows me around and gets along wonderfully with my kitten.
So like, do I just say the cat is abandoned or how do I sit her down when she never seems to be not somewhat inebriated and have almost an intervention?
