So, basically money is the one thing standing in my way for doing SOMETHING for this stray. I asked my mom and she said if she had enough money, she would keep Tango.
He isn't in perfect condition, far from it in fact.
His eye I'm betting is useless now, when I first saw him, it was red and swollen, you couldn't see his eye color, only red tissue, then it became milky and full of discharge, and back to red again.
He is a bit gimpy, sorta hard for him to go up and down our porch and to lay down.
He's a dirty mess.
I bet money he has parasites.
My mom assumes it will cost about 2000$ .. So I am looking for a low cost veterinary service offering treatment for strays, and euthanization too, since my mom assumes he has a cancer of some sort ( she is a nurse. ) but I'm still hopeful since he eats and drink juuuust fine, in fact he's getting a bit more aggressive when he wants food, like meowing ( a very manly meow, mind you ) repeatedly.
He isn't aggressive, and he hangs out at our backyard most of the time.
There is also the fact that we have 1 dog, a Maltese, and 2 cats ( kittens actually ). My Maltese barks and digs at him, but he doesn't, react very scared, just glances at her, and sometimes walks away. She sometimes watches very quietly when he eats. And almost one third of the day she sits at the backyard door waiting for Buster, I just heard her bark at him now, and scratching.. Wait.. She does the same thing with the kittens, but eventually sorta warmed up to them.
I am not too worried about the kittens, since they didn't really pay him any mind, though when they saw him he was always sleeping.. And with proper introduction, I will cross my fingers.
He looks like a very old cat, so I don't want to take him to the city in a bumpy trunk in a cage. I live in Staten Island, NY. I also refuse to take him to the shelter, since it is certain they will kill him without a second thought.
I know I might sound very very selfish, but I always feel like **** when I feel happy, then remember Tango, I have never wanted anything so much in my life, and would like to help him by the end of summer. He is still eating, he isn't giving up.

or at least I think it was him.. And to reply.. I have done that.. But it is sort of hard to make my mom call up the vet to ask.. I mean she loves Buster a lot, but whenever I bring him up she gets REALLY snippy with me. I don't think she's hopeful for him..and she doesn't have enough money, and I can't seem to find low cost vets at all, the most important thing is the low cost, then she'll listen a little ..
