Picked up a stray cat last night. Cus you know, i was in the mood to get a new cat???!!!
This one followed me and followed me, I had no food with me, and I was actually out with my family..
My younger siblings spotted him first and i approached him to try and pet him. he didn't seem like a feral. he looked at me, sniffed in my direction, approached me and sniff my hand, but he wouldn't let me touch him at first. so i just went about my business, but then he started to follow mE down the block. eventually i was able to pet him, and then i carried him for a little bit, but then i put him down. but he kept following me. i almost crossed the street with him close behind me...
i ended up bringing him home. he's in my room mates bedroom since last night, with his own litter box and water and food. hes a very good kitty. so beautiful. Grey with yellow eyes. I think he's 3 months old, he looks the exact same way charlie did when i first adopted him. He's a very good boy, he's very LOUD tho. Meows like crazy when left alone. Upon bringing him home i was able to immediately clip his nails, and give him a bath with a flea shampoo, and he was good through out it all. very calm.
I don't know what to do. I don't have the money to take in another cat, but i can't find the heart to surrender him to the shelter...
he needs to see a vet, get shots, God knows what else, and he needs to get fixed...
i'm keeping him away from my already two existing cats. My cat Charlie was quite curious when he saw the Grey boy...after i gave him a bath i brought him into my room to dry, my girl Jet was literally having a Hiss-fit. Did not like the new comer AT ALL.
i don't know what to do. I'm broke and living paycheck to paycheck as it is. I think i can manage to take care of him...if i shuffle some funds around, food and extra litter box, and extra litter+ toys I can slowly/some how manage..but neutering is so EXPENSIVE here in NYC...i'm sure its expensive any where...and also he needs to be checked out, dewormed...shots....i just don't have the money for that...
Any body in the NYC Area (preferably Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan) that are affiliated with maybe rescue groups, or...I don't know that can help me? Or maybe point me in the right direction??
i am so clueless. Here are some pics. I just want to help him..i want to give him a better life...i feel like he came to me for a reason...i just cant figure out if that reason is to a) keep him or b) help to find him another home....??? i adopted both of my cats from a shelter, where i paid a small fee and they came fixed with some shots..and then i had to follow up with the vets and that's about it. i called around at ta couple places, to see how much it might all cost if coming out of pocket and the price tag is RIDICULOUS...well..maybe not that....but definitely not something i can afford right now...but he's at that age where he might go into kitty puberty soon...and i want to get him neutered before that...
also some name ideas would be cool. me and the BF are currently all over the place with names...we've thought of ash, ned, slate, sterling, flint, greyson.
ON THE CAR RIDE HOME. he was purring and fell asleep in my arms
FOR SIZE PURPOSES: what you guys think? 3-4 months old?
HE WAS A BIT NERVOUS AFTER COMING HOME. POOR GUY.
HE'S SO HANDSOME. THIS WAS LAST NIGHT AFTER HIS BATH
THIS MORNING BEFORE I LEFT FOR WORK.
