Wow, you start a little cat rescue and they are everywhere! We heard a strange noise and couldn't figure out what it was, fast forward a week, we went into the rarely used basement where we found a cat who had snuck in through a (surprise to us) broken window
Fairly certain it had been there a week, explained the noise and tendency for the fosters to start huddling at the basement door.
Cat appeared to be very sweet, was jumping up trying to get pet. Walked past it to get some food/water when it spooked and ran out the window.
We ran after it and lured it out if street with food. It was -10 and we weren't thinking we'll, tried to get it so we.could take it in when cat attacked Jason, I tried to help him when it attacked me. I have 10 tooth punctured and a terribly infected hand, potentially punctured joint capsule which may require surgical intervention.
In the fuss, cat escaped. We left the window as is hoping it would come back. Food and water left for it, next morning supplies were.gone so a trap set in basement. We caught it last night. Now that I can see it better, I've seen the cat before. Nearly certain it was abandoned by neighbors when the moved, not the kind of people who would provide vet care.
We are taking it to our vet today, where it will receive basic evaluation and start vaccines. It may have to stay with them for the remainder of 10 days due to no rabies vaccine +bite history
When it can leave we will bring it back to stay as a foster under umbrella of humane group
What is best way to add it to current cats? The 6 fosters we have now we're all seized from same house. The cat is in a wire trap until the vet appointment. The other cats have been trying to get close to inspect. The new cat shows signs of stress, seats and hisses, low growl. One cat tried to lay next to trap which new cat tolerated for a fewinutes then scared it off.
I do not want any fights etc. I'll keep them totally separate until we know it's health status. If it does have feline leukemia/aids, can it stay here with other cats as they are all negative
The pound and animal protective shelter are all full
