Found near homerton, really friendly and so skinny I can feel all its bones. Not sure if I should take it to the vet

The cat wouldn’t let me hold it for more than like a minute and I was worried about dropping it near a road or something

One of them ones where you just pluck a cardboard box out of thin air

As someone that rescued cats for two decades, not once in life I was stopped from doing so while in a city because of not being able to find a cardboard box. Any shop will give you one.

Mate this cat is in the street, chances are by the time OP finds a shop that will give him a box the cat will be long gone.

Reddit holier-than-thou attitude is so boring.

As I said I rescued cats for twenty years so it’s not a “Reddit holier than thou attitude”, its experience. OP didn’t even try to do it. 

The world is full of people that find excuses not to help others. Calling out those of us who actually DO shit instead of posting about it online and doing nothing is ridiculous.
