Seeking advice regarding a kitty [View all] Voice for Peace Feb 2012 OP

Does he have a collar? kaitcat Feb 2012 #1

no collar Voice for Peace Feb 2012 #2

That was my first thought, that you should get him de-balled at least. kaitcat Feb 2012 #6

Get him neutered no matter what. Demoiselle Feb 2012 #18

would you get it done even if there's an 'owner' in the neighborhood Voice for Peace Feb 2012 #24

That's what the photo posters are for. kaitcat Feb 2012 #28

ok ok Voice for Peace Feb 2012 #29

Lol. I can't wait for news of the ultimate outcome. kaitcat Feb 2012 #30

plastic claws? I need to know more... Voice for Peace Feb 2012 #34

My cat was abandoned when his owners moved Lydia Leftcoast Feb 2012 #21

Isn't that incredibly sad, and inhumane. Curmudgeoness Feb 2012 #22

ohhh.. so sad. I think sometimes it's the kitties who panic and hide when a move is happening. Voice for Peace Feb 2012 #26

On the other hand, his owners may have been like the apartment neighbors I had about Lydia Leftcoast Feb 2012 #31
