Stray neighbourhood cat in bad way

    There is a cat that regularly is fed by my neighbours who are away for the summer but after coming back from holidays ourselves he looks to be in bad shape, he seems to have difficulty breathing and one eye is covered in puss. He seems to be an old cat and was apparently fed by the last people who lived in our house before we moved in. Who deals with this? To me he looks like he should be put down

    Could you maybe contact one of the Dublin Cat Rescue pages on Facebook?

    They might be able to clean him up and give him some love and maybe a home...

    Cats are so resilient creatures, don't give up on him yet...

    Well you have two choices, deal with it yourself or try and get an animal rescue involved. If you can catch him, you could bring him to the vet, stressing that it is feral, and see what he says. Charities will help if they can but a lot of them have so many calls for help, and limited resources that if you can do it yourself it would be a lot quicker. If you can't catch him easily the vet or a local charity might lend you a cage to trap him.

    What would the vet do if i brought him in? Despite me opinion the neighbours might go nuts if I bring him in to meet his end! On the other hand who pays for treating a stray cat? Presumably whoever brings him to the vet?

    Can't answer the other questions but I doubt the neighbours would care, considering he seems to be in a state as he is.
