Heard meows from inside and there was a cat shivering right outside my door. I live in a private home. Opened the door and she came right in meowing. Gave her some dry food but then switched to canned as I read online it's better for a starving cat. Also drank lots of water.
For all of you that might know, NY got hit by a major storm so that might be reason why she got caught outside.
She's very thin and I can feel her spine as I pet her. Light, too, compared to my house cat. She's also not afraid of people at all and came right up to me, against my legs and even pawed at my pants standing upright.
What should I do? Last 2 hours I gave her 2 cans and lots of water. I put her inside the cat bed my cat doesn't sleep in with a blanket... I put her in the basement bathroom and left her with water/food and a litter box. She's lying down relaxing. Meows whenever I come to her and tries to follow me around everywhere.
I am afraid she has something because she's a stray... What should I do? Right now she's relaxing.
I already have a house cat (stray kitty from years ago)... She accidentally came up on us as I was feeding her. Forgot to close the door... I let them face off for a second but the stray kept looking away and was completely non-confrontational. My house cat is usually a scaredy cat, so she did her hissing for a minute and looked curiously at the stray, then ran away.
Anyway, should I keep her? How much would a vet visit cost? I honestly can't afford anything atm...
Is there a way to get insurance on the spot and possibly pay for all the shots.
Hmm not sure if the stray was abandoned or anything like that. I've never seen her around before.
