Cat Hospice
I take care of 3 Cats. 2 born under my House (females fixed) and on that just showed up at the Door one day (Male).
Even though I live in the City it is difficult to feed them as other Cats and other critters eat the food. To help with that I feed the Females inside of my Motor Home (the Engine is shot and I never seem to get around to fixing it). I lock them in and leave one of the Windows open just enough for them to get out. (I don't let the Male in because he pees on stuff and the Females run from him.) The one Female is agile enough that she can jump and get back inside. Up until a week ago She was the only one that was able to do that. I guess it was inevitable but some other Cat got inside the Motor Home through the open window and of course was eating the food. I never could get a good look at him because when I open the door he would run to the back of the Motor Home (I am using it as a storage shed) and hide under the Junk where I could not see let alone find him. I finally managed to open the Door and block his way to the back and he ran out of the Motor Home. The next day I got a better look at him. He is in very distressed shape and although he ran OK his movements were stiff. He reminded me of a Cat that came in my yard that was starving to death because he had a huge abscess on head and Jaw area and apparently was not eating. I suppose he could just be a really old Cat. So I felt sad for that Cat and I left the Motor Home Door open to see if he would go back inside. So I am feeding him and am going to see what happens. He a least has a good appetite and poops a lot so he may have some chance of recovering from what ever is his issue. Right now it is clear that he does not want to leave the Motor Home (food and water and litter box). He is not interested in making friends and stays almost out of sight. Attached are the only decent pic I could get of him. He acts like he can see OK but his eyes look funny. Perhaps he has cataracts. His eyes don't follow movement.
