Ok, I need some advice. I own 5 happy healthy housecats that all get along in my household. For six months now an outdoor kitty has been showing up on my back patio. He seems to be somewhat feral. He asks for food but under no circumstances allows you to touch him. He gets aggressive and will hiss and even lunge at you if you get near him while he is eating. (I feed him every time he shows up)
I feel bad for the little guy. I cannot take in anymore cats. I wish I could, but I've already pushed the limit with 5. I want to do something, but I don't know what. To me...its not fair that my kitties are sleeping on the warm sofas, playing on their cat trees, and staying nice a dry while this little guy looks in from the outside.
I don't want to trap & take him to a shelter, because he is not very adoptable and will probably be put down. I hesitate to take him to a rescue group because I can't afford to make a donation, and I don't want them to think I contribute to the problem. He was someones cat and has been fixed. I've posted lost cat signs, and asked all my neighbors and nobody know where this cat came from.
Any advice ?
