  I’m now trying to think if I can get him to the vet (as they won’t treat an animal they haven’t seen). But I don’t want risk sending him to the shelter

    I have a possum trap if he’s feral level stray. My stray is feral but I’ve nowhere to send him if I catch him so I leave him be and keep the food and water up. He doesn’t immediately flee when I top off his food, so that’s an improvement.

      Thanks, I’ve decided not to trap him though as I don’t want to risk him being euthanised by a shelter. The possum traps may also not be safe due to not being designed for cats and he in particular is quite large.

      This guy is really friendly, he behaves like a pet. I could have been mistaken about the hissing, it could have been a hiss or it could have been a harsh exhale as he seems to huff and puff when excited.

      For now the plan is to get some regular food down him and earn his trust to the point I can give some flea and worm treatment
