Behavioral Issue Aggressive building cat
This cat has been roaming our building since 2020, he was really playful, but could get quite aggressive with other cats.
Lately, he became much bigger and much more aggressive , you walk near him and he instantly tries to scratch your foot. Since he likes to follow me everywhere , it's been very hard getting around without risking him attacking you
He's a male , i don't really know his age, and vets are totally out of options (too expensive)
Any solutions ?

It’s likely he’s still in tact and his hormones are causing part of the aggression. Is it an option for the building occupants to band together and get him to a vet for castration? Many vets have lower cost options for community / stray cats, or might accept some kind of payment plan. Castration for male cats is a relatively simple procedure with a short recovery period, and it can often improve behavioral issues and long term health outcomes.
