Emergency -- sick cat please help

[Kris5902]

Good to be wary and careful! If you’re not close to him and he doesn’t trust you then extreme caution is warranted. Even animals you know when injured or sick can be very dangerous.

We had a “stray” cat in my old neighborhood that survived the coyotes and dogs (I don’t know how) for the seven years we lived there... I got him to trust me, and was able to pet and groom him and remove his fur matts when he started to let himself go. He actually “belonged” to the family three houses up, but was fully outdoors, and fed by everyone else.

We've called animal control and they're sending someone out. I'm eating some quick lunch because I'm just getting shakey and am pretty hungry lol I get far too invested in every little animal

I need to quickly clean out our carrier I can try to put towels out in it and see if he wants to walk in in a minute.

I am keeping my distance since I know the dangers.

He does seem scared of us ans totally out of it, but I agree. Whereas the one other stray cat I've befriended let's me pet him, Skitters (the sick cat) has always remained wary of me, even after months!

That's cute, it's always so rewarding to have a wary animal trust you.

He’s not an old cat.

I noticed that his pupil size is unequal.

He may have a broken jaw and head trauma from being attacked or more likely, hit by a car.

Nausea caused by head trauma can cause drooling.

Thank you for calling animal control.

Please let us know how it turns out.

I will, thanks for letting me know; if never had a cat before and these strays are the most experience I've had with one.

I will update you all!

Thanks for doing the right thing. He seemed to know who to come to for help.

Thank you, my mom and I were wondering at how he hasn't shown up in weeks, but suddenly shows up sick!

I agree with some sort of head injury. I’ll be awaiting an update.
