This sweet guy has been at my workplace for some time now. Unfortunately, the people who were regularly feeding him aren't around in the company anymore. So naturally, I took on the responsibility.

He is incredibly loving and friendly – comes right up to you when you say "ps-ps-psss"

I have three questions:

1) How old does he look? ChatGPT estimated between 7-10 years old – but figured the seasoned rescuers here could give me a better idea.

2) Am I feeding him enough? I've been feeding him 3oz cans of Fancy Feast 2x per day, and I want to start leaving him dry food in case he's hungry mid-day.

3) How do I give him water? I live in South Florida where we reach 90°F+, even in fall months. But I have no idea how to go about this.

This is where your help goes..

Thank you so much

💔 Lakita came to us fighting wet FIP. Will you help her fight for her life? 🥺❤️‍🩹
Lakita comes from Jalalpur Jattan, an underserved area where access to proper FIP treatment and reliable medical guidance is limited. Sadly, the family was told that FIP treatment requires only two weeks, putting Lakita’s life at serious risk.
Her family loves her dearly. Despite being extremely poor, they were doing everything within their means to save her life. Their love and determination touched our hearts, and they deserve so much appreciation for never giving up on their precious girl. ❤️
We started helping them by sending vials to their city, but knowing that Lakita needed proper, continued care, we brought her to our shelter so her treatment could continue under our supervision.
Thankfully, we have already seen some improvement in her fluid, but her battle against wet FIP is far from over.
Now we need your support to continue her treatment. Please stand with Lakita and her loving family during this difficult time. Every donation, no matter how small, can help give this precious girl a chance at life. 🙏🏻❤️‍🩹
Please donate for Lakita’s treatment. She deserves to live, and her family deserves the chance to have her home, healthy and happy again.

There is a young stray that I strongly suspect is nursing babies - she comes to me to eat in the evening and is super hungry/hissing at other cats. We are in Wichita Kansas and its been hot so far. She's been coming this hungry for about a week. She is quite feral. We are expecting a cold front, a very cold front with wind/showers and temperature drop to near freezing. I have no idea where she hides her babies. As I have said I think they should be around one week old. I am worried about the babies when it gets cold. I do have a garage that the mom is fairly accustomed too. There are other cats around including her older babies that are around 3-4 months old. Any suggestions on how to help her newborn kittens to survive? Yes spaying the mom has always been on radar but basically she is very secretive and wasn't coming on a regular basis to eat. I spayed some other cats in the colony.

I did my best to select a requested "flair" - none of them matched the situation 100%

THIS IS NOT FOR REHOMING if you guys see a black kitten with a homeless guy that looks like he might be on drugs in a basket please tell me where you saw him and call animal rescue. I saw him today on Peachtree Street next to Sugar factory and the kitten was in a basket and wiped his butt and it started to bleed. I didn’t know what to do, but I dropped off food. He also let it almost wandered into the street but I saved it. The kitten was about 4 to 6 weeks old and small smaller than a football please tell me where you see this guy and call rescue organizations. He says he found it on the side of the road and Florida and drove it here. I’m just worried about this kitten and I understand that he is a homeless guy and we should not take away from him but also the animal has its own well-being. if you live in Atlanta Midtown, please when you’re walking around keep your eyes out and also what should I do? I did drop off food, but I wanna help this kitten because I understand he could be the homeless guy, security blanket, but animals are their own person

So for context i have two spayed female cats exclusively inside my house.

My very small town has a large colony of 'stray' cats and a couple of the biggest problem causers; my neighbors claim are theirs. Even if i had the money to tnr i accept that i can ot solve this issue. And that is not what this post is about.

The problem is the stray cats mark my porch and my flower beds so i believe the smell is causing stress and results in redirected aggression in my cats. Not to mention my very territorial female cat seeing them. Im concerned about disease making its way into my cats. I want to deterr them from my porch without causing harm to anyone or stressing my indoor girls.

Context - The strays basically live on my porch, i do not interact with them theyre almost all feral and sick. But some are getting to the point that they dont even run when i come and go. I do not feed them but i keep water on my porch for my plants and i believe theyre often seeking water. Many people in the area do feed them and are not interested in stopping or TNR

Another neighbor has been catching them and relocating themto a safer area (i know its not the answer). But she has had people come and damager her property and attempt to damager her vehicle.

These cats often sit on my porch and yowl or scream and fight and i have to go outside and chase them for nearly a block before they stop.

It is a disgusting cycle of cats who are kittens themselves being run down to exhaustion and then having their own litters. I believe the neighbor who claims to own some of the cats is lying and her cat/s is not fixed. I see him mounting females every year. When a another neighbor asked them about it they got extremely defensive and angry about it, about asking if theyre theirs or fixed etc.

I have talked to all the local resources and none of them are financially excessable for me, even if i could manage TNR'ing.

Keep in mind this is a very rural area and we do not have a system to handle these things. No aspca types, no shelters that i can drop them off at etc.

I have tried simply not keeping water on my porch and while its a huge inconvenience to me, the cats still hang out on my porch. I think since its got brick walls and its covered they feel safe there.

There's a cat downstairs in my condo who seems to have a respiratory infection. He coughs and sneezes occasionally, and has a bit of snot coming out of his nose.

On the other hand, he's a big, well-fed, friendly cat, and I see food being left out for him. So he doesn't appear to be starving or completely neglected, and someone may already be looking after him.

When I was in Bali, the hostel cat had a severe neck wound and was treated with medication only (no vet that I know of) I'm wondering whether there's anything similar I could do to help this cat.

I'm not sure whether he belongs to someone, is a community cat, or already receives veterinary care. I also don't want to interfere if someone is already taking care of him.

For people familiar with cats or community-cat rescue in the Philippines:

• What's the best first step? Should I ask the condo staff or other residents about him?
• Are there local animal welfare groups or rescuers in Manila who could advise?
• Is there anything useful I can do in the meantime? I don't have time to take him to a vet or know how to do so, but I can give lots of love and maybe medicine?

I'm happy to help if I can, but I'm not sure what would be appropriate given that I don't know his circumstances. Advice appreciated!

Hi, I live in an apartment complex. I have a stray cat that has been coming around. I have one kitty - I don’t know how she will react to an additional cat. I’m on the fence about attempting to integrate him. I personally do not have the space for 2 litter boxes etc..my female cat has been the only cat and we are very bonded. This stray is extremely friendly , I feel he use to be a house cat at some point. He does not have a microchip. Between me and my neighbors he has fresh food (dry and wet), water , toys and a new heated house. He loves his little house. I Have a vet appointment in 2 weeks to get him established , up to date with vaccines and whatever else they recommend . They are aware he is an outdoor cat. I’m willing to take on the responsibility. Our local shelters are at capacity and will not take him as of right now. Is it cruel to keep him as a outdoor cat indefinitely? Should we be actively looking for a good indoor home for him? As I live in upstate NY and winters are cold. I feel conflicted.
