Found Stray Cat (not microchipped) looking for a foster or adoption ASAP
Posted by BlueTsunami109@reddit | Dallas | View on Reddit | 11 comments
This stray cat has been around our apartment complex for about 2 weeks. I took the cat to the animal shelter this morning to check for a microchip, and he wasn't chipped. I was terrified the shelter would euthanize him due to capacity so I took him back home.
Male cat - about 1 to 1 1/2 years old according the the shelter. He is not fixed, and I do not know if he is vaccinated.
I believe he'd be a good fit around other cats, as he was interested in our male cat and wanted to play. He's very affectionate and loves making muffins.
We cannot keep him as we already have 2 cats, and our apartment has a pet limit. And I do not feel that I can provide the home this cat needs. If anyone can foster him or adopt him, please message me.
He is litter boxed trained.

I don't need a cat as I have adopted one, but appreciate your kindness!

First off, thank you for helping him. Yes, many shelters are at capacity, but especially if someone will volunteer to transport him, there’s places outside of DFW that have fosters available. I would call and check with animal rescue organizations in surrounding states and if theres someone who can take him in within a 4-5 hour driving distance i bet someone would volunteer to take him

I can mention this to my grandmother, she absolutely adores black cats and had a male black cat throughout my years growing up until he passed away in my teens. Talked with me many times now how she’s been thinking about maybe adopting a cat again, would def get him fixed, chipped & all checked out. Reach out to me and I’ll discuss with my gma

what a sweetie! reach out if you don't figure things out in a day or two.
is it possible he's a neighbors cat? was he clean when you found him?

You sure the cat isn't just an outdoor cat?

You can always do trap neuter and release. Shelters are overrun right now, not enough people willing to adopt or spend money on a pet (understandable given the economy).
I’ve made the mistake of giving cats away to people I didn’t know well enough, and they ended up losing or killing the cats. So I caution you if you get any inquiries please vet them well. At least get the cat fixed through TCAP or spay neuter network for free through their community cat program. Not a lot of people willing actually get a cat fixed if they get them for free.

Just heads up, shelters will have sections for ferals and friendly cats. Friendly cats get adopted up pretty dang fast, at least afaik one of the shelters northwest of dallas ALWAYS adopts out all of their friendly cats.
I'm a little tired so I'm probably wording this weird but I hope that makes sense. Hope it puts u at ease if you have to drop em off at a somewhere!
You could always go to another shelter and just tell them you found the cat in the shelters respective area vs Dallas xP
