URGENT, Hurt cat...

[Fur&Feathers]

Last night I heard a cat scream, I looked outside everywhere and couldn't find a cat. This afternoon, the precious kitty is laying next to my driveway, hardly able to walk. (Her/his right back leg seems hurt.) There are no open wounds and the cat ate like no tomorrow. I can't keep this cat, and unfortunately I just lost my job and am unable to pay any vet bills. What do I do with the kitty? Leave her at a vet and hope they do their best? I've called countless rescue groups who are ALL currently at their maximum amount... Please help!

Anyone? ANYTHING? I live near Atlanta, Georgia, can anyone TAKE this poor kitty? I don't know if i should leave it at a vet or not? Any opinions would be great THANKS

This poor cat sounds like he got hit by a car, from the injuries you described. I'd call the local vet or Humane Society and tell them your situation. I wish I was close, I'd help. I wish I knew someone near where you are to help out, but I don't.

Please keep us posted.

I agree, call your local vet or shelter. Explain the urgency of the situation.

If I lived closer I'd take him in.

I don't know why you are uncomfortable taking him to a vet... he needs vet care!!!!

I would hope no vet or humane society would refuse this cat simply because he is a stray and you are not the "rightful" owner. Perhaps the cats owner is frantic right now and is calling vets and humane society looking for their cat. Treat the cat NOW and worry about it later, please.

By the moment, try to take him to the vet as soon as possible...
