Marin the Kitten Stolen and Returned on Adoption Day
A 2-month-old kitten named Marin was brought to Tri-County Humane Society in late August 2026 with severe, perforating ulcerations on both eyes. Within a week the ulcers stabilized, the infection cleared, and Marin is regaining vision.
During a first-adoption event, a visitor removed Marin from his kennel, placed him in a bag, and left the facility. The rescue posted a plea on social media and video footage confirmed the theft. The person who took Marin later returned him the same day, apologizing and dropping him off in a box outside the shelter.
Tri-County Humane Society confirmed Marin is safe and healthy, and his eyes continue to improve. The shelter will not press charges and has decided not to list Marin for adoption again yet.
Key takeaways
- Marin is a 2-month-old kitten with eye ulcers that improved within a week.
- He was stolen from an adoption event but returned the same day.
- The shelter will not press charges and will not re-list him for adoption immediately.
