Did I do the right thing? Feel terrible

Unless you live in a home with only one room, it's not hard to keep a puppy away from a few cats. I don't think you're a bad person OP, but to me, you overreacted a little.

Dude, there's the physical logistics of sequestering your cats so you can drop a puppy into your household, and the massive FU the cats are going to throw about the sudden dog in their space, not to mention whatever mess the puppy makes while it's occupying a space that probably isn't designed as a puppy holding tank... And you want a relative stranger to do all of that for some AH who couldn't even secure their own puppy.

Nah.

OP did the right thing by keeping the dog out of harms way and taking it to the designated lost dog location, which is NOT OP'S HOUSE. Some of y'all are so freakin' entitled, it's gross.

Why would you have to sequester your cats? You simply put the puppy in a room by itself for awhile. It's a puppy, a baby animal. You're making it sound as if OP would have had to shelter an elephant.

And you're making it sound like OP's job to do what the puppy's owners didn't.

No, clueless, you don't just drop a puppy into a room by itself for a while. Clearly you've never owned a puppy! You never leave a puppy unsupervised. So unless OP has a spare puppy crate just waiting around for their irresponsible neighbors to lose their unattended puppy, this is a whole situation that requires monitoring OP isn't obligated to provide. Also, my cats would absolutely lose their shit if I brought a random puppy into the house. All rooms here are cat rooms; you don't put a random animal in one of "their" rooms and expect not to hear about it! Apparently you've never owned a cat either...

You know whose job it is to monitor lost puppies? the shelter, which is where OP took the dog. While inconvenient for the dog's owners, they should've been more responsible about containing their dog. It was also inconvenient for OP, who isn't a puppy rescue service and went above and beyond to help when it wasn't her job. Maybe next time, the neighbors will do their job better. If not, well, maybe they should permanently rehome the puppy they can't care for.

You calling me clueless shows the type of over emotional, drama queen that you are. I have owned puppies and cats. Looking after a puppy for a few hours would not be a problem for me or any other level headed person. Your cats must take after you. You seem like the type of person that loses their shit very easily.

Ah, yes, the emotional stability of this comment clearly indicates the mental wellness of its author.

Hunty, go pet your pets. You're a mess.
