So You’ve Got a Stray Cat Staring at You
Found a stray cat lurking outside your door? Welcome to the club. Step one: Don’t panic. Step two: Don’t assume it’s yours yet. Snap a pic, post it online, and check for a microchip at the vet (bonus: most vets scan for free). If no one claims the little furball after a week, congrats—you might have a new roommate.
Start slow. Feed them outside at the same time daily. If they inch closer, try moving the food inside. Don’t force it; trust is currency here. Quarantine them from your other pets until a vet gives the all-clear (fleas, worms, the works). Wash your hands. A lot.
Talk to them. Avoid staring contests (cats are not fans). Stick to a feeding schedule. Introduce other pets one at a time, and only after everyone’s chill. If you’re letting them outside again, wait three weeks. Or just keep them inside—vets say it’s safer.
Adopting a stray is messy, awkward, and absolutely worth it. #StrayCatRescue #AdoptDontShop #PetCare #CatLife #AnimalRescue
