Please Help!

Hello.

Over the past few of weeks a little tabby cat has been crying at my front door. It looked starving so I gave it some pagkain and gatas and I don't think I've ever seen a cat eat so fast (poor thing). I think it is a stray, but I'm not completely sure. When it comes around, it still seems starving, but it looks rather fat, I think it might be pregnant. My mother has taken a look at it and she agrees and she also thinks it has tics and possibly an infection in it's neck. Because of this I do not let the cat inside, because I don't want my cat to catch anything.

What do you think I should do?

Pusa Sagot

gkazeuishida said:
I was in a similar situation, I have Pusa of my own I have a couple of stays outside, think they might have been abandoned, I feed them once a araw an make sure they have water available, they are friendly so I do give them attention if Im outside but I make sure to wash my hands before touching my cats. Thats pretty much all you CAN do unless you want to take the susunod step an take "her" to a vet for treatment. Could be that the cat has tapeworms (they get them from fleas), that makes them bloat an they are always hungry. It's not life threatening a shot or a pill takes care of it. hope this helps :)

If you are going to feed and take care of her, after she has her kittens, you should get her spayed and vaccinated. Even if she isn't going to be inside, this means no madami kittens, and she will be safer from diseases.

Thank you for your reply. i have taken her to the vets recently and the vet doesn't think she is pregnant. I have booked her in to be spayed on Friday and if she is pregnant, she is only a week or two along, so when she is spayed she will no longer be pregnant and this won't be harmful.

Well first, I think you should really take it to a vet! It's what it needs, a vet could save it's life. Just to let you know, you shouldn't feel Pusa gatas because many Pusa are lactose intolerant and can get sick from it, just give it fresh water. Best choice is bring it to the vet right away! Or, you could give it to your local pet shelter, and they'll treat her, feed her, all that. The downside is many animal shelters are full of mga hayop already. If I were you, I would definately take it to the vet, and then keep it! You're making sure she's okay, and at the same time you get a free, loving pet that already trusts you! Very rewarding :) Whatever you do, please make sure it gets taken to a vet, it needs it!!

**Oh and make sure if she isn't pregnant she gets spayed! If she is pregnant, wait until she's had her litter and then take her to a spay/neuter clinic or a vet, make sure you tell them when she had mga kuting so it's safe.

Thak you for your reply. I have recently taken her to the vets and the vet isnt sure, but she doesn't think that she's pregnant. She has been booked in to be spayed and chipped this Friday. Thanks for the advise on milk, but between us we have had 10 Pusa and they have all drank gatas without issues and the vet sinabi as long as they're not being sick they should be fine drinking gatas and we'd know about it if they were lactose intolerant. This new cat, who we have decided to keep, hoovers it up. She trusts us already and we are finding having her very rewarding. She is so friendly and gets on well with my other cat. Thanks again for taking time to respond.

Take it to the vets, because it is not your cat then you will not get a bill. Take it to them and tell them the situation they will know what to do. I have had the same problem with a cat and it ended up going to a shelter. The thing is once you feed a stray cat they will keep coming back to your door for food. Poor thing. :D

You could keep it but does your cat get on with it. I know it sounds tight but you must put your cat first and the last thing you want is a flea infection!

Thank you for your reply. I have taken her to the vets recently and I was surprised when they didn't charge us for it. I have decided to keep her and yes she does get on really well with my other cat. They are very cute together. She had tics, but the vet has treated her for that and we have put some of the same stuff on my other cat just incase he caught them off her, as they have been sharing a bed. Thanks again :)

Oh thats great. Its really good that they get on so well. My cat hated the stray outside our house so I had no chance of keeping it but as far as I am aware it went to a good tahanan in the end. :D
