Wish me luck with trapping. One of the ferals who comes to my feeding station is not putting weight on one of his back legs. I've had camera issues, so I haven't been able to check on the ferals for a few weeks. I just got the camera going two nights ago and saw him limping. I've talked to my vet and they are willing to deal with him. I'll try to trap him Thursday and bring him in Friday AM. Good thing he's been showing up just after dark for food.
I'm assuming the cat is male and fixed. He doesn't spray, and he didn't bring any kittens last summer. But I'll have him checked over once he's in...and snipped if needed.
He's a very pretty lynx point siamese. I've been calling him 'Meezer tabby'...not as nice of a name as Stubby Tail and Fluffy (two other ferals). So last night it got changed to Tweezer (Tabby Meezer). :-) I have no idea what his socialization status is. He will not let me get close. I guess I'll find out soon.
I am a bit apprehensive. I'm really hoping it's nothing serious. I know that if it's a badly broken leg it would need surgery or amputation. That most likely is not possible, due to cost and post-surgery rehabilitation requirements. But I'll work with my vet to do what is best for him.
