Found Stray Cat should i keep it?

Question

OK well last night a stary cat came onto the deck of my house. It was very nice i fed it tuna and milk. It let me pet it and it wouldnt stop purring. But it is VERY skinny and its fur is matted (in other words u can tell its a stray)

So what should i do im guessing it will come back tonight and i will feed it should i take it in??? Do you think it has diseases?????

Answer 1

Yes take it as your were chosen

Don't know if it has diseases but that is nothing for you to worry about now.

Please get it canned foods no gravy which are healthier then dry

Milk is not any better for a cat then it is for a dog and it can upset the stomach

Best of luck

Answer 2

If you don't want to keep the cat you should take him to a Humane Society so they can take care of him. I would keep him I love animals and maybe you should kinda bathe him and give him flea medicine.

Answer 3

i would take it to a vet and have it checked but do not keep it without knowing it is harmless if it is checked and ready to go the have it given all its injections if it is unsafe take it to a non killing animal shelter and you could still visit it there.

Answer 4

Sure but take it to a vet to get it checked out and make sure you have enough money to pay for vet bills food and all the things it takes to have an animal.

Answer 5

my sister found one,took it to the vet and it had AIDS. Have it checked out, but make sure it doesn't bite or scratch and don't touch its p**p

Answer 6

more than likely the cat is starved and hes fur is matted from the heat

if he ate tuna and drank milk i really doubt if he has any diseases. he'll probably be the best cat you could ever have. good luck

Answer 7

keep it out of your house.. keep it in a garage or somthing intill you can take it to the vet to check it out..

Answer 8

take more food out for it and wear some gloves. Get it to trust you enough so you can check it for fleas and check for eye infections and such (stuff oozing out of its eyes). Buy the proper cage to carry it in and take it to the vet.

You have to consider if you can afford to feed it, water it, scoop its p**p and most importantly if you can afford to pay for the vet bills and injections it is most definitely going to require. If you think you can afford to take it in, and are prepared to take on the responsibilities that ensue, then please go ahead, you will be doing a wonderful thing for that poor animal and for yourself. Cats are wonderful creatures and make great companions if properly looked after. Good luck! :-)

Answer 9

I'd recommend taking the cat to the vet, to get her checked out.

If you want to keep the kitty, have the vet give her meds (if she's sick ect ect)

If you don't want her, take her to a local animal shelter.
