I wonder if anyone could advise me?
I am concerned for the welfare of a cat that I think belongs to my neighbour. He is outside at all times of day and night, regardless of weather. He's always mithering around us and other passers by in the street, often miaowing constantly. He is quite a long haired cat, but his fur is all matted and discoloured and even through all the fur you can see he is very underweight, you can pretty much see bones. When you stroke him these are quite prominent to the touch. For this reason I have fed him for the last 2 days but can't continue to do so as I already have a cat and dog to care for myself.
I am worried about approaching my neighbours myself as I don't wish to interfere or cause an animosity. In all honesty I'm not sure it's definitely his cat as I've never seen him show it any affection or let it indoors. I just know it doesn't belong to anyone else nearby! I'm seriously worried about the cat, particularly if we get any very cold weather. I want to contact RSPCA but wondered if anyone else thinks I should go speak to the neighbour first? And if so what to say? I certainly can't sit back and do nothing! Poor kitty
