Friends are important. Staying friends through hard times is even more important. But there is a limit to what you should accept from a friend, and it is okay to choose who you want to be friends with in the first place. And if your friend is someone who is neglecting their cats and dogs, if your friend is someone who hurts cats, whether on purpose or not, and if that friend is unwilling to change and treat their pets better after you talk to them about it… then maybe that's not a real friend.
A friend like that - someone who is neglecting and possibly harming a cat - is someone that you absolutely should report to animal control. The fact that the person in this story - who one hundred percent did the right thing - is even questioning it is sad. And the fact that their "friends" are taking the pet owner's side is even sadder.
