I noticed this little cat about 3 weeks ago on our farm. Until yesterday, I was unable to approach him at all as he would dash away whenever I came close. Yesterday, he was sitting fairly close to the house and yard, just looking at the house. I went out and was able to pet him. He was pretty frantic. Picked him up, brought him in and put him into a small spare room. Fed him (frantic again, absolutely starving!), gave him water (very thirsty!) and a blanket. He is very thin and jumpy, but otherwise in good shape and can’t get enough of being petted. I am bringing him in to the vet on Monday for his shots and to book an appointment to have him neutered.
There have been many cats abandoned here over the years but this is the first one I have been able to approach to rescue. The others usually end up getting hit by a car, are easy prey for coyotes or starve to death in the winter time. It’s really so irresponsible and careless!
I hope he will fit in ok with our other pets eventually- not letting him out of the spare room until after he’s been to the vet! He is looking much improved after just one day. My son thinks he will turn out to be a handsome cat
