Two weeks ago I discovered a cat in the park lying on a dilapidated
picnic table. I did not know if this cat
was feral, stray or abandoned housecat.
All I knew is that it may be hungry so I went back home to get some cat food and water. When I returned the cat had not moved so I set up the feeding station with dry cat food approximately 30 feet away, then stepped back to watch.

The cat was slow to react to the cat food but
when the cat came to the feeding station he at the entire bowl and drank water.
Going forward I went to the park every day to feed this cat
and to get him dependent on me. My plan worked because today I looked out my back window and
saw the cat in my back garden. Presently
the cat is eating in my yard daily and then lying in my irises.
Yesterday I shared my found cat in park news at my feral cat caregiver meeting
and one of the volunteers offered to sponsor the cat by paying the cats veterinarian
bill for sterilization, vaccines including feline leukemia, de-wormer, and
revolution for ear mites, fleas and other animal parasites. She will then pay for the cat’s food and any
shelter costs for the rest of the cat’s life.
This week I will trap the park found cat for veternarian care.
