Help needed: Stray cat may be left with no one to feed her, Draper/Riverton
Hi everyone, I’m looking for help or guidance with a stray cat we’ve been feeding for more than a year.
We first found her when she was just a little kitten. Someone had abandoned her in a wetland/wild area near our apartment in the Draper/Riverton area, and we’ve been feeding her ever since. She is now about 1.5 years old.
My wife and I are in the U.S. temporarily and will be leaving soon to return to our home country. As far as we know, we are the only people feeding her, so we’re really worried about what will happen once we leave.
We’ve tried contacting a few rescues and shelters, but we were told they may not be able to take her because she is a stray and not immediately friendly with strangers.
She is not aggressive. She is just scared at first, likely because she has had a rough life outside. She also gets chased by unleashed dogs regularly, so she has learned to be cautious around people and animals. Once she sees you a few times and starts to trust you, she comes closer and allows gentle petting. She is very sweet once you befriend her. She just needs someone patient.
We have never had pets before, so we’re not very familiar with how fostering, rescue, or adoption works here. We’re hoping someone may be able to foster her, adopt her, connect us with a rescue, or guide us on what steps to take.
We are willing to meet in person, introduce you to her, show you where she stays, and help however we can to make the transition easier.
We really don’t want to leave without making sure she has someone to look after her.
Please message me if you can help or point us in the right direction. We are in the Draper/Riverton area.
Thank you.
