Also I do the baby-voice at the start of the video. I literally can’t turn it off. If there is an animal in touching distance it’s like a switch that flips. I’m not going to apologize but I figured I’d warn you.
Also. Here are some pics of the capsule and kitty girl.
I attached it to the collar with a bread tie. Hopefully it stays on long enough for the owner to see it.
I’ll keep y’all updated if you are curious if I hear back from the owner.
I have a similar situation I’d like to get off my chest. We have a cat that started to come around regularly back in October. I assume it’s a she so I will go with that. We named her Alley. At the end of October I noticed she was limping and as the days went on it got worse. Soon it was really bad. Like not putting the front left paw down at all. I saw she had licked the hair off her paw trying to clean it. I grew concerned so I ordered some cheap collars off of Amazon that had capsules and paper in them to send a “message in a bottle” to anyone she interacted with. In the note I offered to take her to the Vet. A few days later with no response and we just took her. 3 visits later and she had antibiotics, a rabies shot, and a feline distemper shot. No chip found. As it got colder we allowed her inside. She’s litter box trained. The dog is cool with her, but our cat does not like her at all so they have to be separated. Fast forward to now and we’ve been trying to find her a home for a couple months. (She’s driving me insane waking me up at all hours of the night to go out or play) My wife found a rescue nonprofit that will take her as long as we pay for the initial vet care like additional vaccines, spay/neuter, and make a donation. We will have to foster her for a couple more weeks, but I am so relieved she’s leaving. I will not take in another stray.
With her being so friendly, she has to be someone’s cat. But it’s possible it’s maybe an elderly or disabled person’s cat and they can’t really care for her.
I’m glad you were able to help her. That paw looked bad.
Hope you can find her a new place.
My experience has been that adult cats who spend a lot of time outdoors don’t adjust well to being fully forced to stay inside.
That’s probably a lot of her being restless. But it’s definitely risky to let your cat wander around outside.
High risk of getting hit by a car.
We also know there are bad people out there who hurt animals just because they can.
