@maashouse: This sweet stray cat is our cat Booty’s doppelgänger, and he visits our yard for food almost every day. A few weeks ago, I noticed something heartbreaking … his collar had slipped down and was cinched tightly around his waist like a vice. We set a humane trap, but he was too smart and kept avoiding the trigger for days! Finally, I scattered dry cat food all the way inside, left for a few hours, and when I came home… he was there. He was scared. He was angry. But he was safe. Using a hook to gently bring the collar close to the bars, we were able to cut it off without taking him out of the trap. The moment the door opened, he bolted as fast as he could. He’ll probably stay away for a while, and I don’t blame him. But tonight, he’s free from a collar that could have cost him his life, AND that’s all that matters. ##straycat##animalrescue##rescuestory##catrescue##catlover

I’m confused, if it was a collar/airtag that had fallen down then it isn’t a stray and must belong to someone?

Why on earth didn’t you bring it to a vet? That baby clearly needs medical care.

People need to recognise wat a stray and someone's outdoor cat looks like! This cat had a collar and a tracker so not a stray and just needs medical help and released bak to owners

Uhh so next time take the cat to the vet and get it scanned for a chip! If no chip cat could go to a rescue instead of stuck on the streets

Slow blinking to a cat is considered a kiss and when I do it to a street cat that’s angry they always pause for a second

You know, you could just take this to a vet where we can sedate them and give them antibiotics and what not for that.

Why not take him to a rescue to ensure he/she was neutered?

This is why I recommend breakaway collars, not letting your cat outside (unless in a catio *supervised*), and microchipping. A least an owner could have been contacted if taken to the vet and scanned for a chip 🙃

you really should take him to a vet so they could look at him, not just release him
