I’ve seen him outside that place before so I think he lives there. I could drop a comment on a cat rescue group on Facebook but I don’t use FB, neglected to take a picture of him and don’t want to dox my area.
I also risk nabbing an owned outside cat.
It would help if someone else with more energy recognised him and stepped in. But it’s possible that I’d be pressured to do things that I was unable to afford the energy for or could get me into dramas. There are some divisive opinions on dealing with situations like this.
Fuck I wish people would care for their animals
Edit: The emergency place suggested calling the council after hours but idk if he’s still there.
I should have dropped my cat off at home, come back with a towel and treats and walked back to the emergency clinic with him but I was already in a fair amount of pain, didn’t want to leave my sick cat alone at home and didn’t want to get bitten or scratched. I should have called the council when I got home but I physically passed out from exhaustion.
Guess I’ll add that council call to my list for morning.
