Stray cat
Hi, 21f here.
Getting right to it, there's this kitten. She's really skinny (yes, it's a she), slightly dirty, and couldn't possibly be more than 8 months old. She's a long-hair with tabby coloring, and she's REALLY CUTE. She keeps finding me, but I fed her a couple times, and I know that's why.
But that's the problem, she keeps finding me. I've come across a few cats who had been missing from their owners for a day or two, and returned them safe and sound. This is the only time I've had a stray come up to me 3 times. She has no collar.
I adore cats, and it hurts me to see an animal so mistreated, or so lost. So my question is, I suppose, what do I do?
*I live in an apartment complex. I don't want to just get her to go away, it looks like she needs some taking care of.
*Along those lines, I have a COMPLETELY INDOOR cat. Can't get her out the door if I try. She's also never been sick. I'm worried if I were to take this cat in and call the Humane Society, that it would make my cat sick, and then I'd have hundreds in vet bills.
I dunno, what do you guys think i should do? I see this kitten almost every day when I come home from wherever, like it's just waiting for me. To save it? Feed it? It tried to walk through my door today, but I stopped it. Blah.
Opinions?

Maybe give some free advice about: Pets?
if you have a balcony thatd be a great place to keep it with food and a blanket to sleep on. you can try cleanin it there, but stay away from claws because you dont know what it has. if you dont have anywhere to keep it, ask a friend to keep it while you call the humane society.
if it turns out the cats healthy then you should keep it :) i love cats too and it sucks when you see a lil one out on its own. good for you for helpin it !
good luck !

ok you should take it to the vet and see if it has a microchip, if not adopt it :)

i had a similar sitch
this kitten needs your help. do you have a balcony or a porch? because i live in an apt too and I have a fenced in porch. the best thing to do would be to put the kitten there, and give it some food to distract it, and call the humane society. end the kitty's sufferring and get it the help it needs. you will feel much better about it in the end know that its taken care of. =]
let me know how things go!
