How do you know he is not going home? I think you mentioned he has owners? He might be ok and in shelter.
It was raining and when it slowed to a drizzle he went past in all the wet. At night. (My council has a cat curfew.) There’s also a flattened area in a nook under the eaves which he may be using as shelter.
Afaik he’s “owned” but there’s a lot of owners who let them live as outside cats and do jackshit to care for them. And it has happened before that a previous cat was suddenly coming to me much more because his owner had moved away leaving him behind :(
You are a kind human to help him.
