Normally I never take in strays, but my work called me to tell me about a young black (long haired) cat who has been a stray and has slowly wasted away. Mind you, its been averaging 112 here. They were very concerned about her.
I went to see, and she walked straight into my arms. Such a friendly girl. From her teeth/size I say she is only a year old.
I am already really attached to her, so sweet, so friendly. Let me give her a bath, yes a bath, with only a few moans.
Tomorrow I take her in for shots/tested for FeLV/dewormer. She has not pooped yet and only ate a little wet food. She did pee. Hopefully there is nothing too bad there.
We will check for any spay scars, and if not, she will get spayed and microchipped later this week.
I am also going to ask the vet but will post on here, my cat eats evo grain free wet and wellness grain free wet, along with raw chicken/liver/heart/ect. Is it okay if I just feed her the wet food right now since she is a stray? Or what should I be feeding her? If she isn't eating the wet food, should I try dry?
My biggest concern is that she is hissing at my other cat Wyatt, through the door. He is very friendly and wants to be buddies.
She also hissed at one of my rabbits (I am assuming she thought it was another cat)
Is there hope I can keep her? She is very friendly to humans, but maybe just shy of other cats? Can anyone offer advice?
Here she is
Her name is Charlie Colt Cogburn (Charlie after Charlie one horse the black cowboy..my other cat is Wyatt Rooster Cogburn..I love Coowboys)
