We have had a feral kitty in the neighborhood on and off for maybe 2 years. I will see him for a while and then he will be gone for some time. There was even a point that he would scratch on my door for food and we always fed him, I suspect other neighbors fed him too since he wouldn't come to our house for weeks at a time.

He wouldn't let me touch him but lately I could get within a few feet of him without too much snarling. Last night my daughter went outside for something and came back in and told me he was hurt. He was dragging himself around and his hind end was not working at all. He curled up in a bush and he must have gotten hit by a car.

I called animal control I am sure he will be euthanized although the worker said we will get him to a vet but I volunteer at a shelter and the wild kitties don't stand a chance. The worker even said I am not comfortable picking him up he is obviously feral so he used one of those things around his neck.

I just feel horrible for him but I didn't want him to suffer.
