    this is a bit of a long shot but here goes.. i live on college rd and there is a cat literelly outside my apt since i came in from work yesterday evening. he keeps sitting on the window crying and looking in. its heartbreaking to watch him. i cant bring her in cause i have a kittten already .

    he is black,white and ginger in colouring.. looks well fed,is not skinny by any means,has no collar and is very friendly(albeit a little nervous when first approached). he is still outside the front door crying away. dont no what to do about him. i gave him a bit of food this morning and some milk but dont want to encouarge him anymore(like i said,he is very well fed already)

    anyone living on college road know this cat or anyone missing a cat??
    i cant take picture cause my camera is broken,sorry!

    i have been called it a male cat,but not sure exactly if it is or not,sorry!

    it's probably a female since it has black and ginger - very rare for male cats to have both colours.

    Can you post it here as this also get published in Facebook and lots of people can see it? It's also connected to the Galway SPCA Facebook group.

    We used to have one. We didn't realise it was rare until the vet (testing cattle) spotted it.

    I saw a lost cat sign on the bus stop at Riverside but I think that was black and white.

    It is about 9:1 of a ratio. I've seen a few while working at veterinary clinics in the states.

    Wow, I would never have guessed it was that high, seeing as it requires a chromosomal anomaly.
