I was doing my usual night walk with the bf, and this white & orange big tom cat came out from the shadows meowing up a storm. He was very hesitant to come over but kept talking, finally when he did, i bent down to pet him and he flattened and flinched in fear like he thought i was gonna hit him. I stood there for a couple of minutes trying to figure out what i could do , don't know if he has a home but am assuming so by where he was hanging out. The bf and i walked back to the house and got some canned cat food and warm water (it's cold out
) We were hoping maybe he wouldn't be there and someone would have let him in. It took a few minutes but he came out from hiding and I gave him the food & water which he was very happy about & let me pet him. I really feel bad for him. I'm not sure what I should do. I will check to see tomorrow if he is out. He had no collar on either which I know they can come off but it always drives me nuts when I see cats without them. He was pleasantly plump which also leads me to believe he has a home.....

It's the season for strays. I had a black/white kitty in the backyard. I can't take it in so I put a wool blanket out.

not a good season for strays
I know what you mean, I wish I could but I have literally no more room in my place for any more pets, they wouldn't be happy about that either. i wish the stray was a little closer so I could make him more comfy.

I know the animal shelter in your town is small, but are they a no-kill shelter?

no they are not no kill, also they don't except animals turn in animals, I don't know what this would count as.
