Somehow I have ended up with 2 extra mouths to feed! A couple of months ago a tabby cat started hanging around the neighbourhood - it looked very thin and scruffy. OH decided to feed it and it hasn't left! I assumed that it may have been left behind when its owners moved. Who knows? Anyway I reported it found to our local vet just in case anyone had reported it missing - still not had anyone claim it.
We went on holiday for a week and came back to find the tabby had invited a black and white cat to stay! (our next door neighbours had just fed it at the same time as feeding the tabby) Now we have 2 cats and I haven't the heart to stop feeding them.
Both cats had fleas so I got them flea collars. I also decided to put tags on them with the following message : "If this cat belongs to you, please put a note here and I will stop inviting them in for food.", in hope that they were just being greedy and really had homes. No-one has so far left a note.
Problem - the tabby cat got into a fight with our neighbours cat. It now has a cut on its paw that looks infected. Does anyone know if there is anywhere I can take it to be treated? I really can't afford to pay vet fees, but hate to see the cat suffering. :'( :'(
