cats

I have a similar situation I’d like to get off my chest. We have a cat that started to come around regularly back in October. I assume it’s a she so I will go with that. We named her Alley. At the end of October I noticed she was limping and as the days went on it got worse. Soon it was really bad. Like not putting the front left paw down at all. I saw she had licked the hair off her paw trying to clean it. I grew concerned so I ordered some cheap collars off of Amazon that had capsules and paper in them to send a “message in a bottle” to anyone she interacted with. In the note I offered to take her to the Vet. A few days later with no response and we just took her. 3 visits later and she had antibiotics, a rabies shot, and a feline distemper shot. No chip found. As it got colder we allowed her inside. She’s litter box trained. The dog is cool with her, but our cat does not like her at all so they have to be separated. Fast forward to now and we’ve been trying to find her a home for a couple months. (She’s driving me insane waking me up at all hours of the night to go out or play) My wife found a rescue nonprofit that will take her as long as we pay for the initial vet care like additional vaccines, spay/neuter, and make a donation. We will have to foster her for a couple more weeks, but I am so relieved she’s leaving. I will not take in another stray.
