Roaming cat.

[ccmacey]

Phoned the CP, she said to phone the RSPCA but don't really know if I should??

He came round the other day,  all he wanted was a place to rest his head for a while but my cats don't like him now as he keeps going for them. Ted wont stand for it though and doesn't back down, I always have to intervine and bring them in when he comes to be fed. 

Anyway I'm getting a voucher sent out to have him neutered. But what then? Will he start to go home once he has been done or will I possibly have another cat resident?

You can imagine the racket of calling queens too! In the real world who has the space to keep toms separate from each other  


Any update CC? Thats answered as you posted just before me 
Its worth a try!

[ccmacey]

I could try..... hum? I will phone CP lady and ask her? Then Id have to catch him  But should be ok as he is friendly

and in some places he would be neutered straight away

We are supposed to keep unneutered toms for 2 weeks  for getting them done.   Whoever made up that time limit obviously has not had an unentered tom in close proximity for that length of time.

The quote under my site address springs to mind.

You could try to get him into a rescue as a stray and then if she bothers finding him they can do the ownership responsibilty speech and in some places he would be neutered straight away.
Id then phone/leave a message of "i havent seen the cat for a while is he ok"

I would Michelle but I would rather find out if she wants the cat and maybe then I could get him sorted. Frontline and worm him now, will this mean me having to do it for the rest of his life? I dont see why I should as he isnt mine but if she says she dosnt want him thats a different matter and I will take care of him then.

Ahh make another phone call I think. 

Its up to you CC

Just telling you what i would do !

Hi CC,

Firstly i would get him neutered - no one has to know you did it !!!!
Secondly stick a frontline on his neck and a Drontal down his throat

I would carry on feeding him and just keep an eye that he is ok

It must be a tough one as you already know he has an 'owner', but it doesn't sound like they're looking after the poor babe very well 

I'm sure others on here will have some meaningful advice on what you can do, speaking personally I would not really have a clue where to start, particularly as the owner won't return your calls.

[ccmacey]

Is napping him the only answer?

Hi all, I was wanting a bit of advice on what to do about a roaming cat.

This cat has been visiting me for around 4 months and I have done the paper on the collar thing and yes he does have an owner. She called me back saying he is her cat.

Only now he's starting to look a bit scruffy, got battle scars on his nose and a scratch on the back of his neck, big and red enough to see through his fur. He is unneutered too. I have called her and left messages on her phone but she has never phoned me back, I dont know why?

He's coming to mine to be fed about twice a week, I only ever feed him if I spot him I never leave food out because I want him to go home. He's a friendly cat and seems not to be too bad with my cats, they are a little bit hissy with him.

And another problem my cats catch fleas off him when he comes around. What could I do?
