I live in a major city in a high rise. I have one boy cat. He is 7. I rescued him from a shelter during Covid. I’ve recently come across a stray cat colony. There are 3 kittens. What are the pros and cons of bringing a stray kitten home? I only have room for 1 more cat. Am I better off leaving it alone? Am I being selfish for trying to adopt this baby and take it away from the wild? Please help. I’ve been so emotional about this the last few days I can’t stop thinking about it.

I would recommend you trap all three and see if you can have them spayed and neutered. Only taking one will not prevent them from continuing to reproduce. You also need to have them tested for communicable diseases before you bring them into your home. I would try to work with a no-kill rescue group to see if you can get some help that way and if you can potentially Foster them then you can pick the one that is the best fit for your household.

Agreed with calling a local rescue group. The group can trap and spay/neuter them and then put them all up for adoption. Then you can decide what you want to do :)

I got a kitten a year ago and I was worried about all the same things you are but she was found in a dumpster only a day or two old and needed a home. I ended up taking her and my other cats did not like her at first but now they are all the best of friends. They will get used to each other eventually but it may take some time.

So I just moved states. I’m staying with a parent for a while in a pretty large house and my cat keeps hiding for hours on end (I think to snooze). Any thoughts? She’s spent time with me and I walked around with her while she explores. And she’s ventured solo. Seemed she’s warming up well. Except this again. I admit it’s giving me horrible anxiety that she won’t respond at all until I locate her because even I’m learning where things are and want her to be safe. This is the third time 😭
