Hello! This cat showed up at my neighbors hse this morning around 9am. It has been hanging out in our backyards for about an hour. It is meowing loudly when it sees or hears a person nearby. I cannot take him in as I am allergic to cats but I will keep an eye on him in the outdoor spaces. If this cat is yours please provide pictures to match!

Leave out food & water please. It won't affect your allergies, and it will provide the poor cat with comfort until he's safe. Seems like he was abandoned... on my block, a couple of neighbors left their cat behind when they moved, which is horrible... sounds like that happened here. Thank you for caring.🩷🩷

((place wet food in a bowl - then place that bowl inside larger bowl or on a plate and add water to the outer bowl/pate - in order to prevent ANTS from crossing over and swarming the food))

🐱💜Dear kind compassionate neighbor. I ADORE people like you who look out for the often ignored lost/stray roaming kitty. Thank you for helping to save this kitty’s life! ((Cats that haven’t eaten for days and barely eaten for weeks will still ‘APPEAR’ OK - fur is very deceiving and it takes a long time for cats to look malnourished.)) I pray you will continue to provide Wet food and water. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.🐱💜We are often a cat’s last hope after another human failed them. 🐱 Lost cats REMAIN very near their last residence …Unfortunately many kitty guardians give up WAY TOO SOON on the search assuming kitty is never coming back or deceased (not realizing how close they remain and/or sometimes they're trapped in a garage etc) Kitty could belong to an elderly person who lives alone and doesn't use the internet or know how to find kitty (or can't physically get around well). Or kitty's guardian could have or was hospitalized. And sadly, MANY cats are born in backyards due to guardians who aren’t fixing their own cats that they allow outside. AND MANY sweet cats get ABANDONED (yes happens all the time)….and they need our help 🙏 🐱 MOST (if not all) of the neighbors that live on your block - will NOT see any of these posts on pawboost, nextdoor or facebook. So Informing your neighbors in person is KEY. The neighbors around your block and across the street are exactly who need to be informed via FLYERS and/or knocking on doors and asking. THE BEST THING TO DO To find out if kitty has a guardian: Get kitty into your bathroom where it's safe and contained and Knock on your neighbors doors..someone might know where kitty lives .. Food bowl water bowl, litter box and blanket or ideally a covered carrier can be used as a little hideaway for kitty - or even a cardboard box turned to it’s side and partially covered and blanket/towel inside :) 🐱💜 SCAN KITTY FOR MICROCHIP: Try winning kitty’s trust with food and pets and gently Get kitty safely inside a SECURE cat carrier and get kitty scanned for a microchip at any vet (Free) or shelter (Free) hopefully kitty has a microchip with guardian’s up to date contact information. TIP: Always Cover the cat carrier with a blanket once kitty is inside and during travel it will help calm them. 📌 HOW TO GET A CAT INSIDE A CARRIER (Butt-first) 🐱https://youtu.be/-jLUsGsejRk (I made this video to show you how) Place hard open carrier behind the kitty and give kitty treats or food in front of kitty ,gently pull kitty’s shoulders and body BACK toward the opening…very gently! Kitty will pause then walk backwards into the carrier! 👏🏼 https://drive.google.com/file/d/1l5eJVen9SC9Zm7D3LCr-CZlsmAnl0_cL/view?usp=sharing SEE IMAGE BELOW …. If no microchip please talk to neighbors hopefully someone can keep him in their bathroom as a short term solution to keep him safe (where it is safe from coyotes into a bathroom or bedroom or closet or inside an extra large playpen: https://a.co/d/7EUE4E2 ) and print FLYERS…

Please give kitty food and water and ask a friend to help you get him into a carrier and get him SCANNED at any vet clinic FREE (hopefully he's he's microchipped and the chip is registered) - he's either LOST or ABANDONED and desperate for help. Thank you for helping to save his life 💖💖 💖💖 💖💖
