Hi, Girls and Guy. There is this Precious little Cat that I have been seeing around my house recently. He had to have been put out, lost or he is stray. He's very small and looks like he barely eats and is crossed eyed. I want to help him but everytime I get close to him he runs away. I called Animal Control to see what I should do and they told me to put an ASPCA trap out, "You don't have to touch him or get near him, call us when you have him and we will come get him." That upset me because it sound so cold to me and I know this Kitty must have been having a hard life, i don't want to just trap him like his an irritant or nuisance. I want to catch him and take him to a no kill shelter, my 3 Furry babies are dogs so I can't keep the Kitty with me. How do I get him to trust me and how do I catch him? I know how to get dogs, I have done it quite a few times but catching a cat is a lot harder and then I think he might have had bad experiences with People. It upsets me thinking that he is out there starving to death in this cold, never ending rain. Can any of you please give me suggestions on how to get him to let me pick him up so I can help him? Feed, bathe him and take him to a shelter. I know that he might have rabies but I am willing to take that chance on myself just to be able to help a defenseless animal. I won't let him near my babies though out of fear that they might get something that Kitty might have, due to no fault of his own. Please if any of you have any helpful suggestions let me know. Thanks.
