This information came from neighbor Samantha who lives at 48th and Springfield.
“A grey cat with white markings has been hanging out by my apartment building for the past few weeks: northeast corner of 48th and Springfield. I don’t see it everyday, but it was hanging around tonight (August 7). I have attached pictures, though they are not too good because the cat kept moving around.”
Here’s the cat’s description provided by Samantha:
Young, grey, cat – maybe around 6 months?
Unsure if male/female.
White markings: white stomach, white paws, white spot over right eye, white ring around end of tail.
A little scared/skittish, but can be called over with a little patience and seems very friendly; appears to have nice temperament.
The cat lives outdoors; Samantha cannot bring it inside. Also, the cat’s stomach is bulging (pregnant or FIP?).

I imagine this kitten has no home. If it is female and is pregnant it really needs to be spayed ASAP. If kitty is friendly/adoptable perhaps you can find a cat-friendly neighbor/friend/colleague who would be willing to take her/him indoors either temporarily or to adopt. I might be able to get an appt. at PAWS clinic for a spay/neuter this Saturday, but kitty would need to have a place to recover at the very least – two days for a male; at least 10 days for a female (if it were to go back outside). Unfortunately I have no space for recovering or fostering. The spay/neuter, plus vaccines would cost only $40. Perhaps your neighbors could contribute towards this…
Also, kitty would have to be captured Friday night, and not fed after 10pm. You can email me at l m l 3 @ v e r i z o n . n e t

PAWS does have a spay/neuter slot available this Saturday morning. I could do the transportation, but again, kitty would need a place to recover by Saturday afternoon.
