lost cat?

theres been a cat outside on the green bit infront of our house, which is infront of like 10 houses in this block. Its been hanging around here the last few weeks, just kinda, sitting. Hes really skinny and doesnt look like hes been grooming himself. The only tag he has is one that says 'im on a diet, please dont feed me'. But he looks seriously underweight, u can see his bones.
I went out to him today, and this woman came out and asked if he was mine and i said no. she has also been worrying about him.
So ive gone and put a note on his collar that says for the owner to read and call me as im worried. so i guess if its still there in next couple of days then he might not have a home.
I dont have a pet carrier to take him to the vet to see if he has a chip, and vets is closed now so cant ask if any cats have been reported missing.

any ideaS? i really want to give him something to eat, but if he has an owner, then i dont want him to move in with me.

If he's on a diet - he may be allergic to something. Wait until tomorrow, then perhaps also ask the vet what a good, safe, neutral food is, if you think he may be abandoned?

right, i just went out and sat with him, and he walked toward this house. so i knocked on their door and asked if he was theres. and they said no, but they know who owns him and he often comes in for food etc. apparently he has liver probs and all sorts and is really old. so really relieved now. cept he has a note on his collar that says to phone me if hes someones.lol. oops.

At least you cared x

Hi Jen

If he were my cat (and I've had still have old cats) I would love you forever for caring.

Old cats have a habit of being skinny - honest - and kidney and liver problems are common (albeit not welcome) I would thank you profusely if he were my cat. Bet his owner does too when they call. You are a kind person.

Well done for caring! I hope the owners phone you so that they can reassure you that he is indeed loved and well cared for x
