Re: Stray cat help

[(Anonymous)]

Bring him in :D
For real, I went through nearly identical three years ago although my cat showed signs of abuse and it took a year to build trust to get that first nose bump on my hand. (She’s sleeping on my back at the moment)
For her, I got her a heated water dish off Amazon (K&H chicken water dish, way cheaper than a pet store or TSC) and we bought her a small house off Amazon (Petsfit brand, it’s cedar wood and three years later it’s still in perfect condition. It cost us a lot less to buy it than to build our own). The house isn’t insulated so I did have to buy a sheet of 1/4” foam insulation and cut it up to fit the walls inside. Do NOT use towels or blankets as bedding. You have to use…I think it’s straw. Straw or hay. One is good and one is bad so definitely Google. Linens trap moisture and will sap the cat’s body heat.
Get a cheap fleece blanket from Walmart or somewhere and sit outside with the blanket spread across your lap. Just sit. Read, play on your phone, whatever. The cat will eventually crawl into you lap onto the blanket.
Keep your movements slow, crouch when can because you are very tall and move unexpectedly. (This is all humans from a cat’s perspective)
Wet food is best and cats prefer having their water dish set in a different place than their food. Opposite ends of the porch kinda thing. I also recommend buying a bag of Rachel Ray Noutrish I think it’s called, it’s the darker green chicken one and is formulated for indoor and outdoor cats. Most if not all non prescription wet food is formulated for indoor only and your guy needs a little a different diet living out there. My former feral (she wasn’t just a stray, long and very sad story) will not, absolutely cannot be contained indoors. So she’s allowed out whenever she likes and we still feed her that same Rachael Ray dry food daily.

I also recommend checking your local laws (actually do this before buying anything). You may be required to contact the local shelter. If he lets you pick him up, burrito him into a crate and take him to a vet to scanned for a microchip; even if that isn’t the law where you live (and it probably IS the law), he may just be lost and his loving family is missing him. If he came from your late neighbor, just take him home and live happily every after. But get him scanned at a vet because shelters and rescues have specific things they have to do and it isn’t always in the animals best interest. A vet is more concerned for the animal than what the city council says they should do and will usually let you take the cat home after they scan and attempt to make contact if they get a hit. They don’t have the facilities to keep the animal and once you’re gone they kinda forget about it unless you register the cat there as your pet later. It’s what we did with ours and the vet managed to get the microchip updated to our info and also have the previous owners blacklisted from our city and county shelters because the cat came from the shelter and was missing for many years and the adopters never looked for her or notified the shelter as they were required.
