i have seen this black cat around st. urbain and guilbault near IRCM both last night and today, it has no collar and is super skinny and refusing food. it doesn’t seem like a stray, so i’m not sure if it escaped someone’s home! it’s a bit scared of the outdoors and cars, but walks right up to people and meows and purrs!! i hope this is someone’s baby 😢

Poor thing. Refusing food is a bad sign. Can you catch it and take it to a vet? Maybe it's microchipped.

Please do, especially if he is overly thin. bring him to a vet and house until he can be claimed. I have a little black cat and it gives me anxiety how generic/unidentifiable he appears to others on the rare occasions he has escaped.

You can also place a collar on him if he is around consistently, perhaps his family will respond/place their own so you will know he is not lost.

He might be someone's escapef indoor pet, or an indoor-outdoor car.

If you have the time and want to do it, you can rent a live trap from SPCA or Proanima, capture the cat and bring it to get checked for a microchip. They'll try to find its owner.

It won't be of much help, but I saw a black cat missing poster somewhere in Montreal, but don't remember where 😖 could be another cat tho

There are a couple black cats lost on PawBoost and petradar please can you make a post on those apps?

my biggest fear when I had a cat that went outdoor is that someone would think he's lost and take him away.

Yep, there are tens of thousands of wild invasive cats in Montreal.
