Stray Cat HELP!

[JemBob]

For the last 3 months there has been a grey and white cat turned up its dirty smells bad and very very thin and not had his bits chopped off:shock: Now its getting thinner and thinner I just rang up cat prtection they said cause many females are in heat it may be just that he waiting for a female....but am not sure he is looking worse and worse....he has began to trust me and let me pet him i tried to give him food but he will not eat and am getting worried what should i do try the RSPCA? or just wait like Cat Protection said??

[Hreow]

Not eating isn't good. I'd try the CP again and the RSPCA. Actually, I'd stuff him into a box and take him to my vet, but that's probably not the wisest solution. :-) He *may* just be old, therefore thin and not eating much.
Get a second opinion from someone, it will help *you*, if nothing else.

Poor babe, I'd probably try to catch him and get him into a vets too.
I hope you can get some one to help and very soon. Arent the cp at all interested in trying to trap him and get him the attention he needs?

[DiddyDawn]

Whereabouts in Manchester are you? I'm in Chorlton at the vets tomorrow afternoon if I can be of any help :)

[Fran]

I know if it were me I would catch him and take him to my vet :roll:

[DiddyDawn]

If she can get him tomorrow, I can get him in my vets Wednesday morning.

[DiddyDawn]

I hope to hear from you tomorrow, I will be leaving here about 12.30pm and I should be at the vets between 1-15 and 2pm.

Good luck ;)

Have sent you a pm.

[DiddyDawn]

Have sent you a pm.

Des, are you offering to take this one just so I know. I'm back that end on Thursday with the parrot and I don't want to be wasting my time if you're planning on taking him because I'll have the parrot with me.

[Booktigger]

Just depends on JB being able to catch him - cat is in the Bury area which as far as I know is the other side of Manchester to where you are going with the parrot, but if you can get there first, then fine.

[DiddyDawn]

I already knew she was in Bury ;) If anyone down that end can take him, that would be better for me to be honest, if you want to take him Des just let me know, cos I don't want to be going all the way over there if he's gone elsewhere. I spoke to Jembob yesterday and she knows I'm back over that way on Thursday again.........just let me know so my time isn't wasted.

[Booktigger]

I e-mailed you earlier.

[DiddyDawn]

Any luck with this cat yet :?
