I have done lots of shlter rescues, but i got the fosters from them. There is a ginger cat coming round my house for the last few months. With all my experience I cant even tell if it is male or female. Today it was waiting for me when i came home, and it looked visibly bigger around the midde. It ate 2 cans of food. I put a paper collar around its neck with my phone #. Its getting really cold outside, so I made a make shift bed from a plastic tote and towels. It has half of an ear missing and has fleas. I want to rescue it if it is a stray, especially if it is a pregnant female. (not sure tho as my Charlie who was male really bulked up in the wintertime) How long should I wait to either bring it inside or to the shelter? I don't want to steal anyone's cat!
