I was an lvt for 25+years. Looks to me like Yu have an old kitty. Don't worry about euthanasia. Vets won't recommend that unless there's no improvement. Keep feeding and securing the relationship than take to vet just to b sure it's not a young female...needing a spay and just get overall xam. You're doing a kind thing. Keep up good work! And thx for taking care of an innocent!

What a sweetheart, you are so good to take care of these babies Walleye Mar 28 #1

I really think Ruff Ruff came to me for help Siwsan Mar 28 #3

I think you are known in the neighborhood as a kind soul Walleye Mar 28 #11

I would take him to vet. Just because they recommend putting him, down does not mean you have to allow it! SheltieLover Mar 28 #2

I know the vet wouldn't be surprised. Siwsan Mar 28 #6

Get him some colloidal silver & mix with wet food. SheltieLover Mar 28 #9

Maybe a vet visit would be a good thing. Ocelot II Mar 28 #4

I vote for this, too. ShazzieB Mar 28 #7

Ive bathed hundreds of feral kittens. Its not hard. Just get a firm scruff on it Karadeniz Mar 28 #8

I wouldnt stress him that way while he is ill. It lowers immune system SheltieLover Mar 28 #10

I might see if I can put his/her back paws in to a warm tub of water and get the whole tail section cleaned. Siwsan Mar 28 #13

That's a good idea! SheltieLover Mar 28 #14

Cats hate standing in water. The recommended way is to put them in a well-drained tub and ladle the water over them. eppur_se_muova Mar 29 #15

Of course Ruff Ruff came to you! If there is any possibility of saving niyad Mar 28 #12
