Stray Cat HELP!


For the last 3 months there has been a grey and white cat turned up its dirty smells bad and very very thin and not had his bits chopped off Now its getting thinner and thinner I just rang up cat prtection they said cause many females are in heat it may be just that he waiting for a female....but am not sure he is looking worse and worse....he has began to trust me and let me pet him i tried to give him food but he will not eat and am getting worried what should i do try the RSPCA? or just wait like Cat Protection said??

Not eating isn't good. I'd try the CP again and the RSPCA. Actually, I'd stuff him into a box and take him to my vet, but that's probably not the wisest solution. He *may* just be old, therefore thin and not eating much.
Get a second opinion from someone, it will help *you*, if nothing else.

Poor babe, I'd probably try to catch him and get him into a vets too.
I hope you can get some one to help and very soon. Arent the cp at all interested in trying to trap him and get him the attention he needs?
