They don't have any money, nor do I. I have enough for my own pets that's it. I can't make them take the cat in to the vet it's not really my place other then to suggest it which I have.

He seems healthy. Can cats pass diseases on to dogs too? It's gotta stay in the basement so he doesn't have access to most of the house. My camera battery is charging so I'll try and post pics soon He's a very snuggly kitty. He comes and snuggles on my neck/shoulder at bed time and goes to sleep.
