Thank goodness! I've been following this too and I'm so glad you got him! Let us know what the vet says!
Whoops forgot to add inThanks for the super nice reply’s everyone! So I took him to the Humane Society because I heard they have a low cost medical program. I get there and was told they really only do TNR or treatment if the cat is really, really sick. The front lady at the desk said the vet might not even do anything because he didn’t “look” sick. I was pretty annoyed by that... I said I have pictures of him with muscus all over his face and his mouth hanging open! I didn’t really like the way she spoke to me. She also said “he doesn’t look feral”. I’m not sure what would make her say that... he was just sitting in his trap. My rescue friend who helped me trap him said front desk lady is known to be a now-it-all & likes to make people feel dumb. Desk lady said they would call me around noon to tell me what was going on. So I’m waiting and waiting it’s almost 3 & they didn’t call. That was annoying. So I called them & was told he had a mild upper respiratory infection, conjunctivitis, & ulcers in his mouth, which are more than likely caused by the URI. Didn’t look sick huh? Felt like saying that to her! They gave him a bunch of injectable meds and said I could release him in a day or so. I don’t feel comfortable with that. He’s in a big crate in my garage. He’s not liking the cat food very much, so I’ve been warming up some Gerber baby food and chicken breast & he seems to love it! I called my local cat hospital & told them everything. I brought in the papers Humane Society gave me & cat hospital said they did everything they would do. She also said I should watch him for a week, & that she was REALLY glad he was eating. So in about a week he’ll go in for a therough exam. I want to bring this cat inside but not until his exam. I have indoor cats and dogs & I don’t want them to catch anything. This little feral cat is so cute. He just sits in his little bed all the time in the crate & he does this slow blink at me which I heard is a good sign! I really hope he’s not super feral when I bring him inside cuz I’ve fallen in love lol. If he isn’t happy I will let him back outside. Overall, he’s looking better! I’m thankful for the Humane Society but that whole experience kind of left a bad taste in my mouth. I donate to them monthly so it’s a bit hurtful! They charged me $130 for their services. My rescue friend thought that was horrible but I don’t want to complain. I’m just so happy to see him looking better! Thank you for listening to my update/rant haha. This is a great community to be apart of! Will update soon I’ve attached pics of what humane society gave him Incase anyone is curious. It’s says “clipped ear” because they thought the original clip wasn’t prominent enough.
