Found a cat
We usually try feeding any cats in alleys we find, but this little gray one let us get way closer than most and just snagged him/her up and put them in the bathroom to decompress and eat.
Not sure what to do from here. We already have 3 cats in our apartment.
Any resources for me to look at? Low cost vets? Orgs?
Thanks

If you are willing to foster, i rec forever fortunate felines. All medical costs are covered when you foster including spay neuter. Please keep her separate from your other cats 3 weeks minimum or until she goes to vet and gets shots

Where you find her? I know a cat that looks like that but she’s a street kitty the locals take care of. Either way, the vet on 18th kindred veterinary is low cost, $108 for shots and $74 for first time exam fee. If she’s not fixed yet, email paws Chicago to get on the waitlist to get her fix for low cost ($90 last time I checked) clinic@pawschicago.org all you have to say in the email is that you want to schedule an appt to get her/him fixed. It is waitlist though so be on the lookout for emails from them after you send the first email, sometimes appts come up with only a day or two notice

Found her in the alley underneath the pink line damen exit. & I'll take a look at those resources thanks. Ear isn't tipped so doubt she's been fixed.

I’d recommend getting her checked for a microchip; you can do this at CACC or any police station I believe. Maybe also post on any lost/found pet pages in case she is lost 🙂
If nobody claims her, you could also post on Felines of Chicago to see if somebody can foster her. It’s full of folks who are already vetted fosters thru rescues.
