Hi! This is my first time posting. On Monday night we found a beautiful, but emaciated black male cat on our church doorstep. We live in the parsonage across the street and I called to him, and he came flying over to me. I gave him some turkey lunch meat and some water (I didn't have anything else that I thought could possibly be good for him) and he ravenously ate it. He's been staying in our backyard since then (I bought some dry cat food for him, and have a box with a blanket for him outside), sleeping alot of the day and night, very eager for affection from my husband, toddler daughter and myself, and waits by our door whenever we leave him. We'd like to adopt him, since he's such a sweet heart and very gentle, and I have a vet appointment for him next Tuesday. (My daughter calls him "Cute Kitty" so we named him "CK :-). I'm concerned about his weight though..you can see alot of his bones. Is there anything extra I should do to get him to fatten up/sustain him until Tuesday? My husband is a seminary student, so we're on a really tight budget.
