Hello!
There are always kittens being born in the broken shed a few doors down my alley and I've decided to feed and care for the feral/stray cats in the area. I only started recently, but I have been feeding them and ordered a cat shelter to put out for them to keep warm. I also ordered a trap to do some TNR so there will not be anymore kittens born. I caught two cats already - one was the mama who had been having the kittens and the other one was one of her babies. Both were spayed. Yesterday I caught another one who I thought was her other baby and I'm currently waiting for his/her vet appointment.
The problem is that my father thinks they might belong to somebody because he doesn't act scared or feral towards us when we're near the cage. He just huddles in the corner and watches us. The other two cats we caught hissed, tried to get out, swatted at us, etc. He also doesn't appear to be unhealthy. How can I tell whether this cat actually belongs to somebody? Should I take it to the vet to be fixed anyway?
