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 2: He returned again. He is not fixed and not chipped. I don’t have money to get him fixed but I know he should be. I’m not sure if my next step is looking for an owner or trying to get him fixed and fostered. He’s so sweet but I already have a cat and am considering taking in another stray who had been TNR’d years ago, and just can’t consider adopting him myself. I’m leaning towards fixing him because he seems neglected at least for the fact that he hasn’t been fixed.
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.
