    First time cat owner...found a stray, HELP!

    First time cat owner...found a stray, HELP!

    So glad I came across this board. I have some cat questions since I've never owned one before. Never really been a cat person until now. There had been a stray hanging around our farm for several weeks who wouldn't leave. He appeared to be looking for food as I found him in my pitbull's yard...
