To expect my neighbour to have rehomed his cat by now?

[GK14]

Around 6 months ago my neighbour moved out, his brother moved in.
I'd been away for a couple of weeks, got back and it was late so dark, stepped out of my car into poo, the drive was covered after a cat using my drive as a toilet for 2 weeks.. Horrendous mess to clear up.
I now know it is next doors cat. I have a camera on my house and have witnessed it numerous times doing its business.. Its normally all down the side of my car, its now every morning outside my front door.
So I spoke to the neighbours and quite frankly they are not interested.
The man who has moved out was very rude and saod he'd left with his brother. The brother says he doesn't want it. It's pretty much permanently left out and is I feel suffering in the cold..what would you do? Its not my cat to ring and try and re home but this is driving me mad.

This cat will be euthanised, not rehomed

Call your local Cats Protection they can get the owner to sign over

This cat will be euthanised, not rehomed Don't talk bollocks. Most shelters don't euthanise. Some, including the RSPCA, euthanise feral cats if they come into their care and some with serious conditions. This is just an abandoned cat which it should be quite possible to rehome.

The RSCPA don't normally bother with abandoned animals, and they are the last place I would try. A list of cat rescues/shelters local to you can be found here: www.catchat.org

Contact a few and I'm sure someone will be able to help.

Unlikely, most rescues have a no kill policy even if it means expensive veterinary treatment for a sick or injured cat. I foster for a rescue charity and we don't PTS unless they have serious injuries or illness where it is in their best interest.

Most cats become well enough to be rehomed once they have been neutered and placed in a foster home where they can be suitably indulged until a suitable permanent servant can be found.

Poor cat. Please call a cat rescue (Cat's Protection) or look for a local one online, they can trap and neuter him and hopefully find him a caring home.

Poor kitty. Normally I'd say it's massively unreasonable to rehome someone else's cat. That's theft.

But if the owner and the neighbour are both saying they don't want it then it'd be the right thing to do here in order to get the cat into a loving home. It's probably having a hell of a shit time shut out 24/7 in all weather.

Agree, don't use the RSPCA, they're pretty useless sadly. Try and find a local cat rescue/charity. Some of them may have a humane trap you could borrow or even come and do it themselves. Please act soon OP, I know it's not your cat but too many people turn a blind eye and animals suffer because of it x

Half the cats in our neighbourhood are ill then. I frequently have to put up with similar. I've stood in cat shit three times getting out of my car and had to stop the dog eating countless other bits of cat shit off the drive.

Well most cats cover up their poo so that's a very unusual neighbourhood you live in. More likely to be fox 💩

Nope, definitely not a fox. I have CCTV over the drive. It's a gravel drive, but the footage I watched, the cat made no attempt to cover it up. Same with the garden, none of the cats make any effort to cover it up, and I'm sick to death of having to de-poo my garden EVERY time I want to use it (otherwise the dog will eat it or the toddler would stand/pick it up). If dogs did this there would be an outrage.

Phone the rspca

Cats are getting either lazy or changing behaviour perhaps as there are less / smaller gardens. I have a neighbours cat that goes on my lawn to garden and never buries it , I assumed it was a fox but have caught him a couple of times . You could try cleaning the area with biological detergent and putting cat repellant powder down .

I agree with others that it needs to go to a cat rescue ASAP. Two suggestions:

1. In my area (greater london borough) there is a public facebook group for cat lovers, which often gets people posting with a problem similar to yours and there are various people who belong and who have traps who will go and rescue such cats.
2. Failing that, find a local cat rescue and call or go and see them and explain your dilemma. They may help or certainly have good advice on how to catch the cat. We did this with two terribly neglected, malnourished kittens "belonging" to a neighbour - the cat rescue place provided traps and gave us advice and took them when they had been trapped, sorted out their (many) health issues and found them a great new home (where they actually got some food on a regular basis!).

I would pick it up every single time and dump it on the owners doorstep.

I’ve seen cats poo and not cover it up. They stare at you while doing their business. I’ve neighbours cats poo in my garden and on my driveway. I’ve seen them through windows. They do it here and they did when we lived in London.

Where are these cats that cover their poo??
