Found a cat, update #8

Late last night my sisters found a cat in our garden. She's a longhaired calico cat and she's gorgeous. She's older. She's covered in mats and has a dirty pink collar with no tags. I suspect she's been out a long time but she is very friendly. She's front declawed and i'd assume spayed but we'll find out. Right now she's in a kennel in the garage. We are going to give her a shave tonight to get all the mats out and a bath maybe with flea shampoo just in case, but I don't see fleas in the dirt. I checked all the print and online lost and found ads I could and we will call the shelter to see if anybody reported her missing. If nobody claims her, we plan to keep her. She's certainly not stressed by the dogs sniffing around the kennel.

This kitty is very lucky to come across such nice people. Thank you for helping her.

Oh poor kitty, but I'm glad you found her and took her in. Is she eating? Drinking? She may be dehydrated if she's been out a long time. Hope it's not too hot in your area. I'm sure she'll love a good clean-up.

Thanks for caring!

Sadly she was probably once a Companion Cat and either her so called Guardians moved or they got tired of her. Thank God you were there to give her a second chance at a Furr Ever Home.
We are praying that you will keep her.

Its been very hot recently for our area, mid 90's. Its much cooler in the garage. I know that my mom gave her some food today, but I don't know what it was. Its gone but the dish is in the kennel. She's got water, but she could probably drink more if she' weren't a little stressed from being lost and found and put in a strange kennel.

Catmandu: that could just be the case, since she seems quite old. Out with the old cat and in with the kitten. I do know this, I am asking in my online ad for the caller to describe her, not offering any info other than female cat. If she's only been outside a day or two and she looks like she does (matted so bad she has limited movement of her front legs), we just might not recognize the description.
