Is this neglect?

Someone I know has an animal which I feel like they neglect. Most of my research into animal neglect is much more serious then current circumstances. I met this cat a few months back and it’s parents were barely around. When I mean barely I mean they would house sit for multiple days and leave the cat without their care. They also will dog/cat sit in their room when back home which also leads to them mostly ignoring the cat. They did not want to get the cat neutered until other people had to convince them and book an initial appointment without their help. This kitty had to be given an automatic feeder because they weren’t around and someone else cleans the litter. I feel awful because they don’t play with or really interact with the cat and he is mostly there for them to post on Snapchat. I am a huge animal lovers so I am pretty biased when it comes to the cat but I feel like he needs a better home. Other people living with the cat also agree that he should be rehomed. The actual owner thinks there is nothing wrong with being an absent because it’s a cat and can be independent but I think that if you are going to get a pet you need to take care of it. Please lmk if you think this is neglect or not.
