I wouldn't know to whom I could report them, and I believe they could think it was me to report them.Can you at least report them to some cat association because obviously they are backyard breeders of some type. Even most backyard breeders do not let their cats wander around outside, as far as I know anyway.
My colony cats are all fixed, this should not be an issue. I believe that the only intact females are the ones who live at the stable where this big cat comes from.In addition now, he’s probably been breeding with any other outdoor females that are not spayed so any resulting kittens people are gonna look at them and know they are part Maine coon probably if they have the features.
I don't think I have a plausible way to give them this info without exposing myself in the tricky matter.How do you plan to let these people know that he has FIV?
Had them called and ask me whether I had news and updates about their cat, I had a plan to tell them that their cat has FIP, but this plan couldn't work if they didn't call me, and it's way too late anyway.
Yes, I know.FIV is not a death sentence. My Wizard had Fiv his entire life and he still remained an indoor outdoor cat until later in life.
My avatar cat, Lola, had FIV and I found that out when she was 16 yo. An earlier test, at 7 months of age, said she was negative.
She lived all her life with another cat, and the second cat tested negative even a year after Lola went to the Bridge.
Meanwhile there is an update that might help me a lot.
I found lots of cat hair in a spot at the colony. It belongs to two cats, one was a long hair black cat, the other one was a white and ginger cat. The latter one is a cat that has recently joined the colony. He's an intact tom, rather aggressive. The two cats fought some days ago, that hair has been exposed to the elements for a few days, matching the time the big cat was taken to the clinic. I haven't seen the white and ginger cat in the last ten days.
I presume that this cat was either seriously scared and never came back, or he was seriously injured and is now suffering somewhere, or ever worse...
