My neighbors found Mugsy about two weeks ago. I said I'd keep him in my spare room until the weather got a little better. The night my neighbors found him, it was 5°F.
Shortly after I got him situated in the spare room, I noticed he had a bad upper respiratory infection, an ear infection,fleas and some loose, smelly stool. Took him to the vet. He got antibiotics, ear meds, flea meds.
Found out he is about 8 yrs old, approx 8.5 lbs, he was neutered (tipped ear) and had most of his teeth surgically removed.
He is extremely unfriendly and scared and there has been no improvement in two weeks. He hisses and growls. It's quiet in my house. I have three other cats that haven't interacted with him at all.
Anyway, the past few nights he has been yowling up a storm. He has a full belly, fresh water and clean litter. Maybe now that he is feeling better, he is more vocal about being miserable? I feel bad returning him to where he was found but I don't think I'm going to convert the little, old kitty into a pet. My cats have enough issues concerning getting along. I'm not adding a cat with no social skills to the mix.
