Indeed this whole story sounds like the driver is just a useless human. They dropped off the passenger at a pet hospital. I can't imagine how the driver realized there was still a cat in the car and did anything other than return to the pet hospital. I wonder what lyft's GPS data says, do they see the driver stop a few minutes after leaving the pet hospital, near where they found the cat?

I looked for a couple other writeups on this story, but no one seems to know how the cat got from inside the car to anywhere else. Without any details, I'm left to assume the driver is a terrible human being and simply discarded the cat on the side of the road.
