Yeah, I just hope he won’t RUNNOFT after I bring him back from the vet.
I put the trap out there last week, put his food dish in front of it. Moved it just inside a couple of days later, then a little farther inside, today I put his dish on top of the trigger for the trap. Tomorrow morning, I cut the tie wraps that have held it open and hope for the best. My vet said they would take him but only in the trap so they can knock him out and give him shots and whatever else he needs.
That boy is all beat to hell, one or the other eye is always swolled shut and he walks with a definite limp, but he is my adoptee so I’ll spend the bux to get him some medical attention.
This cat is very wary, gonna be a one chance deal. Guess we’ll find out if I am smarter than a stray Tomcat ;)
Good luck, I hope your kitteh makes it to the vet and when you return he (or she) sticks around. I would put him in a second bathroom or an unused room or even the garage to at least let the little guy heal.
It’s sad to hear that he’s all beat up but I bet he makes a great kitteh once he’s checked out.
Keep us posted.
One downside is that the vet might scan him and he might have a chip which might or might not mean he has an owner. If he does, he sounds like a pretty crappy owner.
Are either of his ears chopped off at the tip which signifies that he’s been fixed?
