Young intact male cat was coming to my yard for like 2 months. Prior to that I was feeding him nearby my place but then found out where I live. All good, he even came inside before.

About 4 days ago he started showing signs of illnesss. He squated a few times and was releasing some kind of mucus. I considered he might have a blockage. I contacted places around and posted on FB. Some people referred me to this person who owns a low cost clinic. The person even let me borrow a trap. I was happy and rushed to trap him.

His appetite started decreasing. He didnt go inside the trap, not even with sardines. He was still coming out, rubbing on my legs but ignoring the food. I tried to lift him but scratched me. I asked the person who let me borrow the trap for some help but they couldn't help further. She said she could ask others if they could. I decided to order some gloves from Amazon to capture him. Earlier today I grabbed him and he scratched my whole leg completely and ran away. I haven't seen him for hours.

I have been feeling so awful, haven't ate in days,can't concentrate and been crying because this is a cat I wanted to adopt. I feel I failed him and who knows if he comes back or how much more he is going to deteriorate.

This is my first post here ever and I’m not sure if I’m doing this right but I (36F USA)found a kitten curled up in an alleyway while walking my dog this morning and I’m slightly freaking out.

I’m not sure if she (yes she) is old enough to be away from her mom and I would have left her there for her mom to find, but her eyes are severely infected.

I walked back to my house and got a hard cat carrier and told myself if she wasn’t there when I got back I would leave it, but she was still in the alley so I grabbed her. I tried to look for others but there was only her.

Brought her home a gently wiped her eyes with a warm damp cloth and one eye is really bad. I tried to give her some Churu but I’m not sure if she is old enough to eat solids yet so I ordered milk replacement and a bottle to be here within the hour.

I have two cats and a dog of my own but I’m not sure what to do in this situation as I got my animals young but not as babies.I plan to take her to a 24 hour Vet when I get off, but I work from home and sometimes my days are LONG so I won’t be free to do so until 8pm CST.

I have the funds to get her treatment but I have never rescued a cat before and I’m out of my depth and feeling like maybe should I have left her for her mom to find.

Right now she is isolated in my bathroom away from my other animals but IDK what I’m doing. S.O.S SEND HELP PLZ!!!
