A legal obligation that requires a person to conform to a specific standard of care to protect others is known as a duty of care. This duty of care means that individuals must act in a way that does not harm others or put them at risk of harm. If a person fails to meet their duty of care, they may be held liable for any resulting harm or injury.
A legal duty of care is an obligation that requires a person to act with a certain standard of care to prevent harm to others. This duty is established to ensure the safety and well-being of individuals who may be affected by a person's actions or inaction. Failure to meet this duty can result in legal liability for damages caused by negligence.
An obligation is something you are bound by duty to do. It could be a legal obligation arising from a contract, in which a person has promised to do a certain thing as a part of the contract. It could be a moral or ethical obligation which could arise as a result of a promise which is not legally binding, or from a relationship. E.g. "You said you'd visit the sick and elderly after church and you have an obligation to follow through." "I feel that, as a friend, I have an obligation to attend her funeral." "It's your obligation to take care of your brother's widow and children."

Solutio indebiti is a quasi-contract. It arises when a person through mistake, pays what is not due by him under any civil or natural obligation either because there was never an obligation or because it was already extinguished or because he pays that which is due but not by him or because he pays that which is due but not to the person who receives it. The essential conditions for the existence of indebiti solutio are: - there must be payment given with the intent to fulfil an obligation which is believed to exist - there must be the absence of a cause for payment - the person must have paid under the mistaken belief that such debt was due by him
As far as I know, there is no legal obligation. However, you have a moral obligation to find the owners, apologize to them, and offer to pay for the cat's burial/cremation. You'd have to be a pretty horrible person not to do that.
