This very cheap ebay reader claims that this cat doesn’t have a chip, but due to its quality it can’t really be trusted. And he was trying to come inside 😭 Which I can’t allow because I haven’t even got the floor bare and clear to be able to repetitively vacuum it. And he wouldn’t accept confinement. Ringworm is making everything harder.

No idea what the future holds… I’m currently barely able to look after myself let alone have another pet. But I might see if I can get hold of a higher quality scanner. I’ve rehoisted the sail and set the bin up with the straw bedding so I hope he finds it.

hugs, you're doing great, really 🫂

and so kind to black cat, straw is like the best bed for cats, so warm and healthy 🐈‍⬛

I need to rebuild the frame of the enclosure he was initially hiding under and half hide the bin-bed… that might feel more secure to him

I think he already feels safe because you are so kind. 😸
