Does anyone know where this cat lives ?

[Jld]

This cat has been coming to our garden recently and today he came round and I'm concerned as his breathing seems erratic where the sides of his chest are being sucked in more than they should when he takes a breath and think he needs a vet to look at him .He won't let me near him to touch him and wondered if anyone knew who owned him . We are at the top end of Upland Road .

Good Evening Jld,

If you haven't already, please try reposting this to your street's Whatsapp group & Facebook's community groups.

I would offer to pop round & scan for a microchip as I'm very close by, but as you say, this cat is not easy to get close to & feeding to coax them any closer would be risky given the symptoms you've described.

Unfortunately, our team do not recognise this cat.

Thanks for the offer of scanning but he is always far enough away from me so he doesn't let me touch him but if he gets more friendly I will contact you for help scanning.

I'm also not on the streets WhatsApp  or facebook groups so if anyone could repost the picture of this cat on these groups would be helpful .

You could contact Celia Hammond who could provide you with advice and a suitable trap for him.  He could be a stray.

I have considered this but he doesn't come into the garden on a regular basis  so  it's difficult to leave a trap out ,but wanted to find out if anyone knew him because of the way he was breathing .
