Maybe you need one of these.I’m still figuring out where to put her.My cats runneth over!
Velcro is a beautiful young girl! And she does seem like either an abandoned cat or a cat who is allowed out (not good cat caretaking!). She doesn't look emaciated, so she must have been getting regular food of some kind all along. The fact that she escaped the trap once and then came back in indicates she is clearly not feral, as does her behavior in general. She's definitely a cat who wants to be, and needs to be, in a loving permanent home!
Maybe someone will be looking for her.
It may be that they care very much, but different people of different backgrounds and ideologies see these things differently. For instance, I do not believe in allopathic (western, symptom-treating) medical ideology, as my family also did not. We believe that our Creator protects us and that if it is our purpose to be here, we will, but if not, we will not. This may sound unacceptable to some, but not to us. In my view, allopathy treats the symptoms, often with worse side effects than the original malady brings, and ultimately with the same outcome, but sometimes lingering for a long period of time in pain and/or infirmity. Some seem to want that. Not for me, thank you! I of course believe in spay/neuter and that if someone of any species has something like a broken bone, a sprain, etc., that needs to be treated by a doctor. My eye problems needed the treatment of an opthalmologist. But long story longer, many of us believe that "nature" will allow the healthy and the strong to heal, given time. I have not seen the cat you speak of so have no way of knowing his/her condition. Just trying to present another viewpoint.I am diligently searching for Velcro’s family. I put ads in the local papers today. She isn’t emaciated because , with the exception of two periods of time, I fed her. She always gobbled it up when I was around. I also have a neighbor who thinks it’s okay to feed outside to everything with no TNR! Another neighbor a few miles away does the same. I’ve been told there is a hurt cat out there but I haven’t found it yet. How can they feed it but not care that it is hurt? I offered a trap!
Velcro is feisty. Not exactly a lap cat yet but I think she may have been before. I’ve been seeing her since December sleeping on my van top. My first meeting with her, she didn’t eat but ran away. She’s really scared acting outside so maybe she is not really used to it. I wonder if someone was visiting over the holidays and she got away? I don’t know but we’ll see what happens. Her story is still a mystery for now. Maybe she’ll tell me more later. Right now she won’t snuggle or share secrets.
*PURRAISE* bigtime! You are very wise as well as caring. Yes, if he will let you flush with peroxide it may be helpful. IF.I totally understand letting nature and our creator determine our outcome. I found, long ago, when raising my daughter, that quality of life is very important. Treating everything with pills doesn’t mean you’ll get well. I agree with that! I think symptom treatment can confuse people into thinking they are well.
We also agree on the TNR! Totally. I do tend to suffer myself if I see any creature hurting. I may not be able to fix it but just want to ease the suffering if possible. I know you know what I mean. We love as we can. The hurt kitty has an injury to the pad of his paw. I think a short time of relief might allow it to heal but can’t really know without seeing it. We have some vicious thorns here so it could be something as simple as removing a thorn. I suppose if I am meant to do anything, the kitty will turn up here. Sometimes it may be that we are not meant to intervene.
Wow! Thank you! Do we have an emoji that is blushing?*PURRAISE* bigtime! You are very wise as well as caring. Yes, if he will let you flush with peroxide it may be helpful. IF.
My maternal grandmother was a seriously spiritual woman and her beliefs were so strong, she said that if we were able to become more close to the Creator and more close to perfect, that if we lost a limb, we would be able to grow it back if it was His Will. Like a lizard and his tail
And I know your beloved daughter must have appreciated and benefitted from your great love. My same grandmother used to say, "god is Love" and I believe that. A dear friend also said, "A cat is Love made visible" and I believe that as well.
Maybe more old than wise? Certain things do come with age. 
And to all true cat lovers out there! 
We do, actually.
Have we seen Muffin before? Love his/her facial colouring.
Thank you. Yes, she was. She endured things no one should have to endure, and without her Faith she could not have lived through them, I truly believe. She inspires me all the time.Wow! Thank you! Do we have an emoji that is blushing?
Maybe the kitty will turn up and let me do what I can.
Your Grandmother really was wise. If we are “in tune” with the world around us, everything goes better. Nature and living things have a language that we often forget during the daily hustle and bustle of life. I make a point of going to look at the sky each day, just to take a deep breath and admire the beauty. The love.
I see the visible love in the kitties too.
Here’s a little bit for you.
You just can’t top the face of a cat!

As well as the cats all around you too!
We’ll be back with more kitty updates tomorrow!
Have a great night!
Butterflies! Another beauty to observe for free! I love seeing butterflies!
That's what cats bring to those who love them. They are truly "love made visible" as my dear friend used to say.
Ah! Thank you! A blushing emoji! Lol That’s a good one.We do, actually.

She more of a people kitty than a kitty’s kitty. I love her markings too. She has a little white spot across her black tail that’s cute too.

The ball was captured and Whistle took his prey out to play! 
Fortunately I know how to put it all back together. He’ll be back to chasing the ball around the circle again soon. Of course, I have to find out where he left the ball he killed first! To be continued...

All assistance is greatly appreciated. Thank you for being willing to do some paws on work for cat rights around the world. Yay!!!!!!
Oh how wonderful!!!Very good news coming tonight!
They are willing to release them for a feral or barn cat program for the first time EVER! Anyone with a place for them to go..... Please contact me immediately! This is a very rare chance to make a huge change near here! This chance may never come again if we don’t get at least some of them saved!
