Animal in crisis - Please help

Description

Neighbors, We have a crisis going on with one of our neighborhood cats. As a lot of you know, we have a black cat that has been roaming around the neighborhood for years. I’ve posted ring videos trying desperately to find his owner and no one has ever come forward. I don’t know if someone moved and didn’t take him, or maybe he’s a runaway. I’ve looked at countless lost pet ads and websites over the last couple of years. I noticed a huge open wound on this side of his neck. The hair is completely gone in that area. Maybe he got into a fight with a raccoon? I don’t know. I tried to take a couple of photos to send to my vet & a sk her what the next step would be. I asked what her protocol was for a feral cat. Here is her response •••••••• Good Morning, That does look bad. If he is sweet we can try to keep him in bathroom, feed him some gabapentin, & once he is sleepy we can check the wound /skin and administer antibiotic injection that's good for a couple of weeks. If he doesn't let anybody handle him then we can dispense antibiotics and that can be mixed with his food. Please let me know how you would like to proceed. Thank you. ••••••••• I think it would be pretty neat if we all came together to help this little guy. He has been alone on the streets for so long, just forgotten about. Please email me for information on how to help. Thank you
