Last night I was visiting my sister when we found a feral cat in her front yard. It was obviously on its last breath, covered with a swarm of crawling flies, eyes gummed up and neither interested in water or Gerber's baby food (beef flavor). There were no visible wounds, but it did drag itself around a bit - unconcerned with people it could apparently neither see nor hear.
Now the kindest thing to do would have been to break its neck, which neither of us was prepared to do (let alone touch it).
So we finally called Animal Control, which didn't come. The County Sheriff who came instead said he was sorry and he couldn't do anything about it.
Any thoughts? Advice? Anyone else who had to go through this?
