Stray Cat

About the stray cat I called the vet yesterday and the girl I talked to said she thinks she knows who he belongs to. I tried calling that family last nite, but no answer. I know he belongs to someone or at some time belonged to someone because usually a stray cat won't just come into a house and make themselves at home like he has. By the way I did keep him the house last nite.

I tried calling a few people to see if they could or would take him in. No luck. I ended up putting him out and it abt. broke my heart to do it. He kept looking at me with eyes that were saying please let me stay in where it's warm. When I woke up this morning I looked out to see if he was still there and seen that he had crawled in the cat carrier - I have an old blanket in there so at least he was a little warmer. Anyway I'm trying to decide what to do with him - I don't really want to call the police because I'm afraid they will just shoot him. but I can't afford more vet bills. I wish there was a shelter here where I could take him. What should I do - any ideas?

Reprieve noted. If you need help transporting lets us know. Donna I am sorry the house is full. 13 and a possible #14, but I can certainly help in transportation. For those that don’t know about half of my kids have come from Donna in one way or another.
