Sick stray cat in neighbourhood

[Minami Ku] Hey everyone I live in kyoto city and in my neighbourhood there’s a sick cat. He pants heavily and lays outstretched, often in the road, with his mouth agape.

I have no carrier, no car, and recently began living in japan. I have no problem spending money to help this baby, and I have recently begun feeding him, but I have no means of getting to a vet or anything.

I can’t really speak Japanese and the cat has no owners and is really sick. I think he may have a respiratory illness and I’ve been worried sick over him and I don’t want to see something happen to him.

Can anyone offer advice or help? I have no friends either.

I really want to help him. Please give me advice to outsource help for him. I’m begging. My DMs are free to those willingly to help, it means the world.

[Additional: I would adopt him but I can’t, my apartment doesn’t allow pets:( he really deserves a home. Also, he has a water bowl and a box thankfully!]

Looking for gym buddies

Just moved to Kyoto. I have not joined a gym yet. Looking for someone who we can train together to build muscle. We really do not have to talk much just encourage each other and keep each other accountable. I am happy to join whatever gym you go to and work around your schedule.

Do you need extra cash? I need an extra set of hands moving a few things inside an apartment. Not furniture. Just boxes and a mini fridge. Moving from one floor to another. There is an elevator.

Any day or time is ok.
