Extremely malnourished, SKINNY cat..some home remedies to help? Can’t afford vet, showed up on doorstep.?
A stray cat came to our home about a week ago. He/she is extremely skinny and malnourished. About 3 weeks previous, she/he had come to our house, however it wasn’t nearly as sick and skinny looking. We fed him for a couple of says and then he left. Almost every bone in his/her body is able to be felt (he/she is a fluffy cat so it isn’t that noticable that it’s skinny). We have 3 other cats that we take to the vet, along with 5 dogs and 2 horses. All of whom we take very good care of. However, we can’t afford to take this stray to a vet. All of our animals came to us as strays, so we try our hardest to help the animals. All of our 3 cats a completely avoiding the cat, going as far as to sleep and eat in the gaurage rather than the front porch. Are there ANY, ANY at all, home remedies that I could try to help this cat? His/her energy level is very low, it doesn’t go very far at all. Mostly it justs sleeps. How can I help this cat?
We live out in the country and a lone puppy recently showed up on our doorstep. We took him to a no-kill shelter ( we had to lie that we found him in a parking lot). As everyone knows, your not suppost to take animals to a shelter outside of city limits. So what should I do? Take him to another animals shelter and say I found him on the side of the road?

Give cat to your local animal control or humane society. The animal needs vet care & treatment & if you can’t afford, then make sure it goes to a place that can give it. It is cruel to allow cat to suffer & obviously your cats know something is seriously wrong with it. You don’t want it to spread anything to your other pets either.
wow you have a lot of animals. but props to you. You should take him to the humane society. If you cant aford a vet. he could have worms or something that the other animals could catch and then youll have a big vet bill.
a cat that’s having a serious weight loss and lethargic could have a terrible disease like leukemia or feline aids. its terribly contagious and he’s only suffering. please take him to an animal shelter, they can help him without cost to you. they can do a simple blood test to see why he’s unwell.
if you want to keep him, he should be isolated, put him in the garage so your other cats can roam. you can buy a vitamin paste or pro-biotics at a pet store. about $6 and put it in his food.
