Hi guys,

I’m aware this is csuf sub and am so sorry for posting when it’s not related to csuf. I just needed more resources for saving this cat. I have posted r/fullerton as well. Please share this if you guys know anyone that might be able to help.

I found a friendly stray/community cat in Fullerton a few days ago. People who frequent the area mentioned that the cat has been getting noticeably “looking messier“ and worse over time.
If you zoom in the photos, the cat's hindleg paw looks off and I am worried it might even be necrotic? The cat is clearly in discomfort and looks unwell when trying to put weight on that leg.
I have already reached out to OC Animal Care and multiple local rescues in Fullerton, but they all refused to dispatch anyone or help unless the cat is already physically captured and confined. Or they said they don’t really do this kind of rescues. Unfortunately, I do not own any cat supplies or a carrier, and I am currently physically away from SoCal for the next few days, so I cannot go back to confine the cat myself.
Is there any experienced independent rescuer or trapper in the area to at least go look at the cat and assess the injury and possibly call OC Animal Care? This sweet cat keeps weighing so heavily on my mind, and I genuinely, deeply hope that someone can go out and check on the cat.
To protect the cat and keep the location safe, I am not posting the exact address publiclyh. If you are a vetted local rescuer, have a trap/carrier, or work with a reputable group and can go check on this cat, please DM me directly for the exact location.
Thank you so much!!

As you can see in the photos, the cat's hindleg paw looks completely off and I am worried it might even be necrotic. The cat is clearly in discomfort and looks unwell when trying to put weight on that leg.
