CVS bosses have banned an 18-year-old cat called Nutmeg from “retiring” at their Portland store over hygiene rules.

The orange tabby had become the unofficial mayor of Sellwood, regularly wandering into the CVS Pharmacy in the Sellwood-Moreland neighbourhood of Portland, Oregon, where staff and customers adored him.

Nutmeg, adopted just over a year ago by Joe and Gabi Moore, would stroll in most evenings before closing, hang out with shoppers and staff, then be collected and taken home.

A single customer complaint about the cat being inside a pharmacy and food retailer triggered corporate intervention. CVS issued a statement saying: “We love Nutmeg too, but as a pharmacy and food retailer, we must maintain an animal-free environment to protect the health and safety of everyone we serve. Service animals are always welcome, but pets are not permitted inside.”

The Moores say Nutmeg chose the store as his favourite place in the world and just wanted a peaceful retirement there. Locals have launched an online outcry, calling him a “treasure” and “legend” who made the store a neighbourhood fixture.

“Apprezziamo moltissimo il supporto che abbiamo offerto a questa povera madre e ai suoi bambini. Ora sta bene ed è pronta per essere dimessa. Dobbiamo trovare una famiglia affidataria perché non possiamo più tenerla in clinica. I costi sono elevati."

@misandryluvr421 Crazy people around. Your little one is adorable

[Dale R Wills @dalerwills]

We had a tenant move out of one of our rental properties and leave behind a mountain of trash.

As awful as that was, it got worse.

They also left behind two cats… to die.

One was locked in the garage with no food and no water.
The other was trapped in the house with no food and had water only because the toilet seat had been left up.

If we hadn’t gone back into that garage for another week or two, that cat would’ve been dead.

I genuinely can’t understand how someone could do that to an animal.

The crazy part?
These cats are unbelievably sweet.

We brought them out to the farm and we’re working to acclimate them into becoming farm cats now. Hopefully they’ll have a much better life ahead of them than the one they came from.

People can leave trash behind.
That can be cleaned up.

Leaving living animals behind to suffer is something entirely different.

@Nappingisbest @rainylune You need to do some research and see how very high their euthanasia rate is.
