This is a beautiful stray that came into the neighbourhood about 6 months ago. First from time to time only, now more regularly. He walks with a limp, his left hind leg seems to hurt him a lot, it might be broken. Yesterday i noticed he had a patch without hair behind his left ear,
Today it looked much worse, you can see it in the bottom pic. I haven't been able to touch him yet, unfortunately. If i try to catch him and put him in the pet carry bag, and fail, he won't be coming close again for a while. this poor guy DOES need help.
I'll try to at least touch him next time, hopefully tomorrow, and see how he reacts. Then put my winter gloves on and give it a go. There's a vet in the neighbourhood here that will treat stray cats (some vets don't touch them here - don't know if that's the same back home actually), and will do it very cheaply if he knows you have no money. He takes in strays all the time, he's got 18 at the moment! They're everywhere, in the waiting room, in the examination room, in the dog trimming room. The vet showed me a pic: come dinner time, 18 plates are set on a long dinner table, and after they're finished, the vet and his wife have dinner (^-^)!! I love those guys!
