I can understand your concern for helping the cat! I would think twice about going directly into someone elses yard and taking their cat. It would be best to find out if anyone owns the cat first (it may be just plain homeless and has no owners) if its claimed by someone ask if you can have him. It sounds like nobody is taking care of it but you. The reason I say not to just take the kitty (can you imagine if someone just took your pet out of your yard and you never saw it again?) find out if the cat has owners what the story is on it first. I realize it has no collar but give the possible owners benifit of the doubt first.
