Sad cat alone

Up my lane is a house where a cat sits in the "garden" surrounded by rubbish, cat crates, litter. It's there every day, rain or shine. The "garden" is a shithole tbh.

Cat and I are friends. I've knocked on the house repeatedly, windows open etc - no reply.

Tonight the cat is coated in paint. I've picked him (?) up and carried him home. He's stuffing his face in the spare bedroom and my two resident cats are sniffing the door

Should I alert eg RSPA or g back to the house and remonstrate?

This cat is mangy, left out in the pissing rain, I swear it's been dumped.

Fabulous!! Thank you so much op. She must have been in a very bad way to have been unable to see if he was a she and she couldn’t groom herself. Female cats seem to be more fastidious then boy cats imo! )I have a lazy male who lets the girls
do his grooming for him).

Thanks so much for caring and looking out for this beautiful cat 🐱. It breaks my heart how many animals don't have a home or get lost and are not microchipped etc and even more so when they are not cared for and neglected.

Congratulations on your new dcat op.

She is a lucky lucky girl indeed - landed well on her paws!
Hopefully your existing 2 will accept her quickly...

MermaidEyes · 07/09/2022 11:16

What a lucky girl! I have a feeling she's going to be very happy in her new home 😊

LazyJayne · 07/09/2022 12:12

Thank you for the update OP! He’s a she!!

Poor weak old puss not having the energy/muscle tone to groom herself :( she had probably just about given up

Thank you for helping her ❤️

Aww! I hope she thrives. Bless you, OP.

RedRosie · 07/09/2022 12:18

Thank you for caring. So many people don't. 💐

Alphabet1spaghetti2 · 07/09/2022 12:29

Ooo those deep sorrowful eyes. Looking much better already. 😻

ItsNotNormalLove · 07/09/2022 12:41

Aww. Bless her little white socks 🥲😊 Thank you for looking after her OP, she's a beaut.

InternetRandom · 07/09/2022 13:16

Thank you for rescuing this poor cat! You've done a good thing. Hoping she can happily settle to a comfy retirement now.

DifficultBloodyWoman · 07/09/2022 13:29

I think Scarlottie has landed on all four paws now that she is in your household!

May you share many lap cuddles, pats, and fish and chip suppers together!

3kidsaremorethanenough · 07/09/2022 13:54

You are a beautiful person OP, you have saved that gorgeous girls life. She is just adorable 😍 ❤️ 🐈‍⬛️ enjoy your new brilliant life now Scarlet

verdantverdure · 07/09/2022 14:22

Oh baby girl! Lovely update @HMSSophia

CoastalWave · 07/09/2022 14:25

KEEP HIM. I wouldn't even tell them. People who can't be arsed to look after a cat are scum to me.

Keep him and keep him safe indoors.

Tierne · 07/09/2022 14:30

OMG she is adorable and you are a wonderful person!
If Scarlett doesnt stick I think you should call her Rominy which means "from Rome" but could be shortened to Romy (aka roamy!).

CoastalWave · 07/09/2022 14:37

sorry just saw the update! Keep HER!

Please. What a lovely ending for her and what joy she will bring you.

PeloFondo · 07/09/2022 14:43

She looks like she needs some catnip mice, salmon and a cushion to recline on Grin what a sweetie

PeloFondo · 07/09/2022 14:45

Also my cat I thought was very much a lone cat and didn't want a friend
I temporarily had to steal a deaf cat (don't ask) and they were mates within 2 days. Except for my cat screaming at him and me going "his ears don't work darling"
My cat "if I scream louder will they work then" Confused

Holly1293 · 07/09/2022 14:45

Ah, lovely update. Thank you for rescuing this sweet girl xx

OttilieKnackered · 07/09/2022 14:46

😭😭😭

Thank you OP

"Vet said a) body of a 13 year old, teeth of a 4 year old"

So is she 13 or 4??

Myshitisreal · 07/09/2022 15:03

Genuine tears. ♥

verdantverdure · 07/09/2022 15:05

Did the vet say if she's had kittens @HMSSophia? I don't know why but it just popped into my head that someone might have kept her confined popping out kittens and that's why she doesn't have muscle tone.
