Q: Kitty Help!

We have stray cat in our apartment complex that no one seems to care for. She is a little on the thin side and very cute and sweet. Every time I see her she follows me home and I can not stand to see her all dirty and on the streets. I know she doesn't have anyone taking care of her since she is always dirty and seems underfed.

My main issue is that I already have two cats and one is very jealous of her as it is. Both of my cats are declawed and this one is not. I know I can not keep her and am thinking of finding her a new home. Any suggestions?

Do you have any friends who could take her? Or is there an ASPCA in your town you could call? Not Animal Control, but a non-kill shelter or service?

I am not sure. I work at a vet hospital so I know of places in Irvine, but not near my home. The shelters tend to mistreat their animals here and i would prefer to personally rehome her if it came to that. I should probably talk to the DF and see what we should do. He feels the same way about possible keeping her or finding a new home. She is pretty independent so I know she would want to go outside and I have no idea about potty training. I just bathed her and can see some scratches on her as well so I know she gets beat up a bit. She is only about 7 pounds max and is just a tiny build.

Poor thing Sad that's awful! I guess there isn't anyone in your complex who would want to take her in if they've been ignoring her?

Nope. Most people here do not want to deal with animals. They are allowed but the deposit is $400. There is a couple that she hangs around as well. i think she may just be an outside cat that belongs to negligent people. I noticed she has some fleas etc. I just posted an ad for a found kitty in the area on our local craigslist and hopefully that will help.

Well I went and asked if it was their cat and they said yes, but she refuses to stay indoors. Apparently they keep her vaccinated and take her in every night etc. They have tons of cats and they don't bathe them. I told them she had fleas and they said she is on a control but sometimes they jump on and THEN die, which makes sence since she only had one or two. I just tole them to watch her careful since their are other cats around here who are bigger etc.
