Mary,

Like I told you last night, if the cat is as feral as Fister was, the best thing you could do for him is just set up a shelter and feeding area for him. At least you know he'll be taken care of. You could trap him and bring him to a vet to be fixed and then him out when you get back home. That'll be one less cat making babies.

Good luck, hon. If you need me, just give me a call.

(((hugs)))
