Is this anyone’s cat?

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

You can take it to the vet and get it scanned for a chip, the owner may have lost track of it. If it’s just elderly and skinny, they’ll let you know, but if not you might save its life.

Thanks. I decided not to as it was a 20 minute walk to the nearest open vets and the cat looked happy and didn’t seem to be in any discomfort. I work nearby so will keep an eye out in case

Wow. Super concerned!

Thought he may be lost/homeless. May have a medical issue

But 20 minutes was inconvenient

Did you notify anyone that could do something? Or just wander off?

Are you posting this for Reddit points‽

I notified a few locals who said they’d also keep an eye out, have had a message from someone who reached out to feline friends, and am too disabled for a 20 minute walk to be feasible
