I'm a leo, while on duty last night I was approached by a couple who do home health care and said they found this cat near one of their patient's homes. I'm no good at estimating age but it's definitely an adult. Animal control refused to come out and shelter closed and not taking in animals this weekend. I brought her home and put her in dog cage on my porch. She's all skin and bones and can barely stand. Loads of ticks, ears full or gunk, and she wants lots of petting. I work this county, and yet I can't even get an after hours return call. I've fed her tiny amounts (tsp size) every couple of hours mixed in watered down bone broth. I've pulled ticks and did best to clean her ears. One side of her abdomen sticks out and I'm worried it might be a tumor. All she wants to do is sit in my lap and rubs against my hand. She doesn't want plain water, but will take it if I mix it with bone broth.
The earliest animal control will come out is Tuesday, as is the earliest the shelter will advise if they'll take her. It's been since 6pm last night and she's not even peed. What can I do to keep her alive???
Unfortunately I'm heading out for another 12 hour shift. My son will keep encouraging her, but I'm afraid of making her worse. I googled rescues near here, but the closest is a drive and I'm not going to be able to meet anyone before Monday, probably Tuesday because of the holiday and my work schedule.
I'm sorry of the answers are in the forums somewhere, I literally Googled to find this place to begin with and I've got to go to work. Help please?!
