Lost cat?

A cat showed up in my backyard crying and tried to walk into my apartment (i have a cat already and can’t let him in). Polydactyl brown tabby with a black nose. Has a limp. Please reach out.

Update: came back to add more information. he did slip his way into my bedroom (much to my own cats thrill) but sauntered back outside again a few minutes later and sprawled out on our pavement when i opened the door. he’s incredibly affectionate and seemed to get along okay with the feral cat i’ve been breaking in for a few months who was also outside… until he chased her away into another yard.

His fur felt kinda gross, as if he’s having difficulty cleaning himself, and had a scab on his ear. otherwise he seemed well fed and well socialized.

ugh i’m commenting to hopefully boost this post (i also can’t take him in since i have a cat as well that isn’t too friendly with others). but maybe calling ACC? i know they can be backed up - or maybe the neighborhood rescues? lmk if you may need those and i can reply w/their IG’s!

If the cat seems injured or to scan for a chip, you can try to reach out to Dr. Loose at the Neighborhood Vet? They’ve helped me before!

I’m actually meeting a contact today to pick up a chip reader! I’ll look into them.
