Hello everybody!
I'm new here and I need some advice. For the past few months I've noticed a cat hanging around my house, mostly in the evening or at night. He's usually lounging in the yard, hanging out in the alley, or as recently noticed, digging through my garbage looking for food.
I'm not sure if he's feral or not. I assume he is because he digs through garbage looking for food, is usually out late at night, and runs away when I try to go near him.
I've started putting food out for him but it's nearing winter and I'm worried that he won't survive the cold. I want him to trust me enough so I can get him inside and have the humane society pick him up or bring him in to be neutered and find a home for him but I have no idea how to do this.
I do have an indoor cat already and I don't want to cause any problems with him but at the same time I can't leave this cat outside to freeze.
Any advice?
