Yesterday we found a little kitty in our apartment's garage, hiding under the dumpster. It started yelling up a storm, but was incredibly skittish and wouldn't dart at the slightest movement.
We went out and got a few cans of wet food, some treats, and a kitty carrier and through much patience, we lured him in and brought him upstairs. We're keeping him in the bathroom right now away from our cat until we can get him to a vet. He has warmed up a lot and doesn't mind being petted now, but still super flighty with movement.
He looks pretty young and he's super small, but stomach is very distended (worms?). Was absolutely filthy, so rubbed him down with a damp cloth, but he's still got some stuff stuck to his head. Any suggestions there?
Here's the big thing, his tail looks mangled and possibly necrotic? It's short and all frayed at the ends and it feels like there's a big knot just above the black bits. Attached pics. I'm unsure though because it doesn't seem to cause him pain (he keeps banging it into things and seems none too bothered) and he doesn't mind it being touched. Still, I didn't wanna mess with it and hurt him, figure it needs x rays.
So anyway, this is a thing. Ultimately we're hoping to keep him and we've named him Calcifer.
