Hey, this is a good deal. My wife has befriended a roaming cat. We don't think he's a feral cat because even though he's timid, scared, and his head is pretty scratched up from fights, when he's hungry enough he will come up to her and meow for food. I told her "don't touch him because he might be diseased," but just like when the waiter tells you "don't touch your plate, it's hot," she won't listen. She pets him, but I don't know if she would be able to catch him to take him to get some shots. He might run away after that and all the food we've been giving him will go to waste. She named him "Phantom" because half his face is scarred up. She'll hear him fighting in the middle of the night and brave the muggers to run out to break it up. She wants to keep him and envisions him being an indoor cat some day. I think he might be a foreclosure catorphan somebody left behind with their house. I'll tell her about program you listed.

Yeah let her know to make an appointment and we will be more than happy to look at those wounds and give him vaccines while he is under. You can also lure him into a carrier and bring him that way. But usually if they are strays that had been spayed or neutered they will notch the tip of the ear. Check and see if his/her ear is tipped, if not make an appointment and we will be more than happy to spay or neuter and give him flea meds and vaccines all for 10.00 !! spread the word "Some say the end is near.Some say we'll see armageddon soon.I certainly hope we will. I sure could use a vacation from this. Bull[bleep] three ring circus sideshow of. Freaks."

Thanks! I will look for that ear tip. That's something I wasn't aware of. He comes to our door and screams now for anybody to open it to get food. He even comes in the entry, eats, and then splits. She calls him Phantom still, but I call him freeloader. He had to be someone's pet because he's skittish, but friendly once he knows you. I'll tell my wife that info.
