A cat found refuge in one of the cat-boxes I placed in our garden ( Ovacik ). Unfortunately it looks very bad , has skin irritations and loss of hair. As we take care of other 10 or more cats in the garden , this poor cat's desease might be a danger for them.

Is there a quarantine fascility for such cases at the shelter ? After the treatment , I can take the cat back and treatment costs are no problem.

The greatest problem might be to catch it , as it is very shy.

We try a practical treatment since two days by giving it small doses of Alfasilin (antibiotics ) mixed with food.

Any helpfull comment is welcome.

These are the picture I made this morning ( from a distance ) :

There is quarantine facilities at the shelter and you can take it there and speak to Emre(afternoons only) he should be able to help you, if not take it to Serkan on Mustafa Kemal Bulvari No.91a - Fethiye, 200-300 metres toward Fethiye from Tansas same side.

Thank you Tinkerman. Is there a phone number to contact Emre or the shelter ?

Now the major problem will be to "convince" the cat to get into a carrying box. The cat was here this morning , now it 's gone ; maybe it will come back at night etc.

We will try to make it trust us in a few days , then it might be easier.

0252 6135825 but ring in the afternoon, yes try feeding it and gain its confidence and get a pair of thick gloves.

I finally managed to catch the cat with a cat-trap I loaned from the shelter. I took him to Serkan Vet for inspection. Unfortunately the poor cat has a big tumor growing aside his tongue. Nothing infectious , but as the tumor will grow , it will be difficult for him to breath. Too late for an operation Serkan said. Now he is still asleep in our garden. We will feed him as long as he comes and as long as he lives...now I need a glass of wine...

Wow, I would have thought it kinder to put him out of his misery. He clearly isn't coping, can't groom himself and has skin problem. Not criticising you Libra, you have tried. Just surprised Serkan didn't suggest it.

We talked about it with Serkan. I intended to heal the cat when doing all these. As even a healthy cat unfortunately may be overrun by a car and die suddenly , I thought why should I not leave him live as long as he can.

We're in same situation with a much loved pet of ours. He is on meds now and happy as larry, and seems fit as a fiddle. An op might kill him, I am tempted to let him have his life till we see he is becoming unhappy. Sad times.
