Injured Feral?

Hey Shadow....Hissy or another of the feral caretakers would be best to answer this question. What I would suggest though is that if you have never seen this cat before and it doesn't have the ear tip that signifies that it was TNRed...is that you trap this cat and have it TNRd and explain to the vet about the strange noise and limp.

What kind of noises are you talking about? Sometimes when they're eating they'll make a growling sound to warn others to stay away from what they're eating. Sometimes another feral will bite and cause an injury to a paw or other area. Has this cat been fixed? If it's getting up a tree it may not be injured too badly. Something that should be watched though and may need trapped and a vet visit.

I dont thinks its fixed i havent gotten the chance to check if its a male or female so im not sure. Just now I was feeding it and it was making the noise even before it ate it almost sound like a wheezing sound. It just eats and does normal things but makes that sound. Do you think something bit its paw?
The best thing to do would be to trap it and take it in the be neutered. Tell the vet about the wheezing noise and the potential "injury".

Wheezing sounds more like an upper respiratory thing. Sounds like it needs to be trapped and taken to a vet and spayed or neutered. Anyway you would be able to do that?

its been weeks now and the cat hasnt come around since new years eve. I really hope that it didnt die and that somone else is helping it. or maybe it just traveled too far.. I hope I see it again one day.
