Advice on adopting a stray?
Hi everyone.
About a month ago a very skinny and very cute cat appeared on my doorstep and we started feeding him. I called every shelter and animal rescue organization and they don't have any reports of him or a lost cat that is even close. I would love to adopt him, but I am not sure what I need to do to make that possible. I have 2 indoor cats already (and hadn't intended to get another one, but I think he adopted me) and I am not entirely sure what the risks are. I know I have to take him to the vet before he can come inside, but will that make it safe to introduce them over time? My other question is: Does anyone have a good idea for trapping him without scaring him to death? I looked at the hav-a-heart traps, but I am afraid of getting all the neighborhood cats but him. If you have any ideas, please let me know. He's such a pretty cat and he seems really sweet the less he is afraid of me. Thanks so much, Anna |
