Out for a walk yesterday and came across a cat in very poor condition. Skinny and dirty. I spoke to a neighbour who said he is fed twice a day. And has always looked scruffy.
Posted on my local cat's Facebook page, and got inundated with people telling me to basically cat nap him.
A rescue fit in touch with me who are willing to help. Went back for another look, there is a note on the bib saying that he's fed and watered and although the looks uncared for he isn't and is an actor. The person who was feeding him has died and the house sold. But he's still being cared for.
I feel that I should leave it. Its not ideal, but the note on the bin suggests other people are concerned and they are aware of it.
But now the rescue want to scan him and possibly take to a vet. Help what do I do now!!

Not sure how much to intervene with this cat.

The lady from the rescue is going to meet me on Monday and we will see if we can scan him for a chip.
While you've got him, give him a worming pill and a drop of flea treatment on the back of his neck. Getting rid of parasites will make him look and feel better.

@2bazookas yes that was done.
I keep thinking of that story about starfish on a beach and a child throwing them back into the sea.. and when told she couldn't save them all, said it made a difference to that one.

It's a shame that if he pulls through I can't offer him a home. Snorg would unfortunately go ballistic. She is fine with Persians in her house. But god forbid a moggy appears on her patch and all he'll breaks loose.

I thought it will be less passive aggressive. If Len has written the note. What do you think.

I found that note VERY passive agressive - and absolutely perfect!
