My brother told me yesterday there's an unfamiliar cat under the house, crying like it needs help. I was gone all day, driving out of state. I heard it still crying when I got back after midnight. Climbing under the house, I see it's unable to move its hind legs. It was probably hit by a car and paralyzed, then managed to drag itself under the house. It hisses and crawls away from me when I approach. I think it might go to a place where it's unreachable. It didn't touch the food + water my brother had put down there hours earlier. Probably couldn't muster the strength/will to crawl back to it after it tried to crawl away from my brother.
It's a holiday and Animal Control is closed. I called the emergency / on-call number and they said they only come out in cases involving a person being attacked or bitten.
I have to go to work, but I don't want to leave it suffering.
Damn.
