A few weeks ago I saw a cat in our yard, drinking from a puddle. I figured it was a stray and left it alone. It went away for a while and just yesterday, came back. I was laying under my jeep, muddy and filthy. When it got up to run away, I noticed it was very thin, emaciated looking. I brought out some food for it, and it didn't want the food and instead rubbed against me. Eventually I convinced the cat to eat and it ate everything I gave it.
My grandmother says the cat looks sick, and I must admit, the cat does not look well. After classes today (end at 11am) I'm going to get the cat into a carrier and take it down to the ASPCA. I'm not sure if they will just take the cat from me on the spot, but I don't want the cat to be out there, starving or dying from something. If the cat is dying, I want to help it if I can. It is a very sweet cat and I want to give it a chance. If it cannot be helped medically, then I want it at least to be put down so it won't suffer.
