Answer 4

Give it some food, and water ( or milk ); Then if you dont want to keep it, call the ASPA.

Answer 5

First look at her neck, if she doesn't have any pet tag,  she's probably a stray with no home.

Best you can do is give it a bowl of water and some cat kibble, tuna, chicken if you have any.

But don't keep it unless you can take care of her for the rest of your life. Or unless you can find her a better home or a no kill shelter.

But keep in mind strays usually have fleas, and perhaps tapeworms, I know when I found my stray cat, I had a few vet bills. But now she's my wounderful pet!

Also, observe her carefully you don't wanna touch her if she has rabies.

Answer 6

If you don't want to keep the cat yourself, call animal control and explain the problem.  If you do want to keep the cat, what you should do would depend on if you have other cats, animals, small children

If you have no other pets or small children bring the cat into the house.  If you have baby food, give him/her a small amount.  You can also try giving him some tuna, but be very careful, fish is a rough thing to put on an empty stomach.  Call a vet immedietly and see if they will be willing to see you today, to find out if the cat is healthy.

If you already own pets and/or have small children,  don't bring the cat into the house.  Instead, put him in a carrier.  If you give him a blanket, make sure it's one you don't mind parting with.  Keep the cat away from the other cats (a separate room at least, maybe in the garage if you have one)  call your vet and see if he/she will see you today.  Yes, you can offer the cat some food, just don't offer him a large amount at once, because if he's too skinny, he'll barf it up.  Offer him tiny bits.

I hesitate to add this last one, but if you want to keep the cat, but won't take him to the vet ASAP (I really dislike this idea, but then again, if the cat is really starving, better to give him a fighting chance rather than leave him to die in the streets) you can offer the cat bits of food.  Please though, unless you have a pet and young children free house, *don't* bring the cat inside.  Yes, it's easy to do, but he could be carrying serious illnesses.  But, if you don't live with young chilren and pets, bring him in.  Get some canned kitten food and give him small amounts.  Small amounts of water too.   Get the cat to a vet ASAP.  You'll have to do it soon enough anyway.  

You might also want to call animal control either way.  I don't know about your area, but where I live, if I called animal control and said, "I found a cat, he's underfed, I'm willing to keep him, but I want to report him in case someone reports him lost," they would be more than happy to let me keep the cat and just take down the information in case someone calls the cat in as lost.  

Answer 7

Give him some food and water. Then take him to the vets, then they will probably take him to the RSPCA thats what happend to my cat, he nearlly got taken but we found him at the vets just in time.

Or if you really want to keep him then keep on feeding him then he will get used to you and might start coming in.

Answer 8

well, feed it comes to mind.

tuna fish, cat food. meet, beef poultry or pork, cooked no seasonings.

or call a shelter.

Answer 9

Don't give it milk (from a cow)! That will probably give it diarrhea!

Answer 10

take it in and revive him then bring him to  a shelter or keep him or give him to someone.

Answer 11

Rescue him. If he is a stray, you know that he is very hungry so give him some food and water. Take him to the vet, for neuter  or spay if female, vaccinations etc. and you will have a wonderful new friend who will be devoted to you for a very long time.
