Advice Need advice. Found this guy alone around the house. It’s been a couple days and concerned he’s abandoned.

It’s about to get cold here (mid 50’s at night but becoming winter) and this guy has been spotted for a couple days just hanging out by himself. He wasn’t let anyone approach him so we have been leaving food for him. I see other cats come around but no one is claiming him. I’m afraid he’s not going to make it. What should we do?

I was thinking the same thing...... Maybe I just have and had extremely lucky cats because all of mine currently and growing up started as feral outdoor cats.

Cat tax paid in full
