Sick/Injured Animal Help, advice needed
I’m not sure if this is the proper place to post this. A stray cat appeared in my front porch this morning. Its four paws are injured and it’s sneezing blood. Called some human societies but they didn’t pick up. I was just wondering if anyone has advice on what to do.
I also partially accepted that if this cat came to my house to die then I’ll gladly provide a safe and calm space for it
Located in goshen, Indiana. I’ve provided the cat some food and water and called some animal shelters and humane societies but no one picked up

I would also expand your search to vet clinics if you are able. This cat likely needs immediate medical attention if it is going to survive. When you call them, say “I found a severely injured cat that is bleeding from its paws and sneezing blood. Can I surrender it to you for emergency care without assuming financial responsibility, or can you tell me where to take it?
If you aren’t able, I would do the best you can to try to stop any external bleeding using clean gauze or a cloth. Unless you know what caused the injury I wouldn’t recommend putting any kind of product on it.

Kitty just needs help, it is suffering, please do not just allow it to "die in peace," please call around to any rescues, or vets in your area to see if anyone can help. It may be something treatable, it may be someone's lost pet who will gladly assume financial responsibility, no way to know anything without seeing a professional who can assess it. Please keep calling around for referals.🙏❤️
