I got tired of seeing the cats around my home suffering and cats and kittens dying. I started taking one at a time to get their shots and spay or neuter. Now there are no more reproducing cats in my area though I do feed several on my patio. We found homes for many kittens and tamed the feral cats enough so they can come in out of the bad weather though they prefer to be outside and hunting in the woods.I did have to have one male put down because he had a advanced case of feline leukemia but the rest have tested negative. |
Wow that is so awesome that you do that!! I can't stand to see strays around. It just breaks my heart. Can't tell you how many pets we have had because they were dumped on us.
To the OP, We have a coop here that carries things for animal care. For example, you can purchase vaccines and antibiotics. Our city does not consider the shots as given if you do it your self. However, it has to be better than no shots at all. And they are very very cheap. I don't know if you have anything like that available where you could pick up some meds for the wound and/or vaccinations. Feline Leukemia is a huge concern. The antibiotic ointment may do the trick! Hoping it does for this little fellow.
It sounds like you are doing a wonderful thing taking this poor baby in and treating it. So many go untreated.
