Need Help...PLEASE
My neighbor has been feeding a sweet little black cat for at least 10
years. She put a pass-through door in one of the panels of her garage and has bedding in there for the cat, although she feeds the cat on her front porch. The problem is that the cat is looking sickly and doesn't go in the garage anymore. She just stays out on the porch even in bad weather. This is Connecticut and the weather is getting cold and nasty. The cat is eating very little, just dry food. My neighbor can pet her but then she runs off. She won't let her pick her up. She set a trap and hasn't fed her for 4 days and the cat has shown no interest in going in the trap even though she looks hungry. She wants to trap the cat and have her put down because she is very skinny and sick looking now and doesn't want her to have to die outside in the cold and snow. If the trap thing doesn't work, what else can she do? Is there anything you can put in the food that would make the cat lethargic enough so that she could be picked up and put in a carrier? Since she only eats dry food, I realize this would be difficult. BTW, my neighbor put a few "kibbles" around the trap to try and get her to go in the trap. No luck! She has tried holding the front door to her house wide open and the cat won't come in. My neighbor has a small dog that the cat just loves. When the dog is outside, the cat brushes up against the dog and follows it around. Too bad she won't follow the dog into the house. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. |
