Moving: Should I take the injured stray cat I've been feeding?

You should be able to borrow a Have a Heart trap or other safe trap to catch her. Then you can take her in the trap to get treated. Put food inside the trap and leave it near to where she is. When it’s dark and she’s hungry she should go inside and won’t be able to escape. This Is safe for both you and her. Once she’s treated they may spay her and release her back to your area. That depends on things in your country. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care this stray cat.

How kind of you to worry about and care for Blackie! Are you able to get near her? Obviously catching her up and finding her a suitable home would be the best situation. If not, I would see if you can advise the people responsible for demolishing the building about her presence and they can keep a watch for her. If you have created a shelter for her that she is familiar with I would start moving it to a new location. If you have sufficient time before the demolition starts you can move the shelter a little each day towards where you would like her new 'home' to be. Continue offering food and water, but at the new location as well. Cat's often fair pretty well in a feral/wild state, but she is lucky to have you to care for her and feed her.

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

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!

If she won't let you catch her you can set up a humane trap (most animal shelters have ones you can rent) or a carrier and place some warmed up wet food or even some warm fried chicken in it. The smell is usually enough to entice the cat to enter the carrier/cage so that you can safely trap them. If she has been roaming around a new location, a checkup with your vet to make sure she is not injured or ill from the experience is also smart.

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!

Oh no, this poor kitty! She really does need to see a vet first thing in the morning. Keep her indoors and warm, offering her food and water. Have your parents take her into a vet immediately in the morning.
