How to help a sick stray cat bleeding in my yard I can't catch?

It looks like this little girl has a bite wound. I would recommend trapping the cat and bringing it to a shelter if one is available. I would be cautious about touching her just in case the animal that bit her had rabies. She need veterinary care, this is not something you can take care of at home.

Oh dear, poor little cat! Since you already have the cat in a cage, I recommend taking the cat to a vet immediately for evaluation. Try to avoid handling the cat further since you do not know if he has been vaccinated for rabies and animals in pain can become quite aggressive. The vet will also be able to scan the cat to determine if a microchip is present because this would allow them to find the cat's owners. If you cannot take him to a vet, look for a local shelter because most have veterinary care available. I hope that all goes well!

Antibiotics in the US aren't available over the counter, and cats are picky with their food so they are unlikely to eat food that is treated with medications. You can get a live animal trap and leave food in there to try to capture the kitty so it can get proper treatment.

It's difficult to know what this is without seeing it. This could be a bad case of conjunctivitis, an infection within the eye, or a problem with the skin surrounding the eye. Either way, this sounds very severe and it's important that Kitty be seen by a vet soon. If you can get her into carrier and take her to a vet, that would be best. Sometimes, you have to catch them in a trap (non-harmful) in order to get them to a vet. If you have trouble doing this, or are unable to take her to a vet, then I recommend calling the local shelter and asking for assistance. The shelters have vets on staff and will ensure Kitty gets the necessary treatment. I hope that helps and Kitty gets better soon.

Hello! The safest way to take the cat to the pet shelter would be to trap it, if at all possible. Feral cat traps are the safest option because they automatically close after the cat enters. A pet carrier or box with some food that you can securely close after the cat enters will also work. Most people use canned cat food or tuna to lure the cat into the trap. A common oral sedative for cats is a drug called Gabapentin that can be mixed with food, but this is a prescribed substance and not one I believe you can purchase over the counter. I also caution that if the cat is very wild, it will still be able to bite and scratch you while sedated, so you will still need to contain the cat in some type of carrier. Cats can carry the Rabies virus, so I want you to to stay safe! The animal shelter may offer some types of traps or sedation drugs to assist you in bringing the cat in. Try calling them and seeing if they can offer you any supplies to help! I hope this is helpful! Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!

I am sorry to hear about your frustrations with this kitty. I don't think you are likely to be able to trap her with a normal cat carrier if she is this shy as she will likely run as you approach it. I would see if there is a local rescue group or animal shelter in your area that has traps they use for this issue.

OMG, this kitty is very ill, it is not possible to say what she is suffering from without a hands-on exam. I suggest you offer her food and water, put her in a box with a towel and take her to a veterinarian ASAP. You can also call your local Animal Control or a shelter and they may pick up the cat from you. Here is a Pet Hospital near you that is open 24 hrs: http://www.daktari.gr.jp/tokyo.html http://www.daktari.gr.jp/en/index.html
