Not sure how much to intervene with this cat.

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!!

Any Len updates? I'm very invested having a couple of rescues myself.

This is the latest from Mansfield Cat Rescue, if you haven't already seen it. He's looking very well😺

He looks so happy. I shudder to think that he could have been still living next to bins.

I don't think he actually would have been still living, by the bins or anywhere, had you not intervened. Instead, he has known food, vet care, warmth, peace and love, and is enjoying however long is left to him, thanks to you and lovely Mansfield Cat Rescue.

❤️ Len ❤️

@BangaloreLulu no, I suspect he'd have died by now.

Love this ❤️❤️

Len's posts are so funny and he looks so happy. I get a bit sad when I think of him living by the bins when he is clearly so sociable but I tell myself that - thanks to Toddler - his life transformation is better late than never.

Toddlerteaplease · 04/06/2022 15:57

I know. Love him complaining about the food and the kittens.

Any update on Len?

Toddlerteaplease · 11/06/2022 03:28

He has a little kitten friend called Daisy. But other than that I've not heard anything.

They look very sweet together. What a lovely life Len now has.

I was worried when I clicked on this thread, expecting the worst news, but Len sounds as though he has settled into his twilight years life beautifully. Lovely to know there are good people in the world, sometimes it seems as though there are very few left.

Oh that is lovely to see ❤️

Want2beme · 12/06/2022 21:28

Look at him just enjoying a lazy day of being the boss 🥰

Confusedcatlady1 · 13/06/2022 09:48

I’m so glad to read that Len is enjoying his twilight years with a full belly, comfy bed and love.

CassandraCross · 13/06/2022 15:14

@Toddlerteaplease thank you for intervening with Len and getting him to a place where he can see out his days in peace, comfort, safety and with love.Flowers

BangaloreLulu · 14/06/2022 14:27

He looks as though he's waiting for his handmaiden to arrive and feed him peeled prawns 🍤

Toddlerteaplease · 14/06/2022 14:48

@BangaloreLulu he probably is. He gets fresh roast chicken a lot!
