On my way home tonight, I saw a big white beautiful cat (looked like a Ragdoll) in my alley, a few houses down. He was friendly and approached me for pets, so he's not feral. I wasn't sure what to do. He didn't have a collar on and it was too dark to see whether he had a tattoo or not.
What is your standard procedure for when you see a cat outside? Do you leave it and wait to see if he hangs around? Or do you take him home and try to find his owners? It's unfortunate that many people let their pet cats roam outside without any form of identification. It makes it difficult for anyone to tell.
What am I supposed to do? A part of me is kicking myself for not trying to bring him home and seeing if he has an owner, but at the same time, I don't have an extra room to contain him.
Thanks for reading.
