We have a stray kitty in our neighborhood that is coming into my house through our cat door. I've talked to neighbors to determine that he is a stray. The theory is that someone down the street moved out and left him behind:mad: , but I'm not 100% sure of that story.
I'd like to figure out how to capture this kitty and get him cleaned up and to a rescue center for adoption. (He looks like he could be a Himilayan mix, but his fur is so dirty and matted that he's a mess right now - but if he could get combed out and the mats removed, I think he could be a pretty kitty.) He's spraying inside my home and getting in fights with my Sidney, so adopting him doesn't seem like an option at this time.
The good news is that if we do capture him, a couple of neighbors are willing to share the cost of getting the poor guy to a vet and checked out and cleaned up before bringing him to a rescue place.
Of course, his favorite times to sneak into our house is when we're both at work or asleep:o
Anyway, if you have experience with this or can offer some tips, I'd appreciate it.
thanks everyone.
