While I was walking Missy she was looking at something pretty intently, so I looked to see what she had noticed.
One of the stray cats that have been around the house for a while was in a trap under someones porch. It obviously went in there to get some food, and got caught. I was glad that someone was doing something to help the problem that we're having in the neighborhood - but then again I don't know this persons intentions with the cat... hopefully TNR or working with the local APL... There weren't any cars in the driveway, but I put Missy in a down stay by the porch steps and knocked on the door to let them know they had caught the cat. No one answered. I continued on my walk and forgot about it for a while.
Just a little while ago I walked Maddie, and then after that I walked Charlie. The cat is still there and no one is home still. No big deal, but I am starting to worry that the cat is going to be in the trap all night. Its getting dark and the temp is starting to drop and the cat can't go anywhere to protect itself from the weather. . .
I can't remember if anyone was home yesterday either, and we walked on the other side of the street so I don't know if the cat was there yesterday... I do know that the cat was not by my house all week (it usually is).
I'm worried that the people that live there are on a holiday vaca or something... If the cat is still there, should I call the APL? tomorrow? Or should I wait?
