The Neighbor is cruel to her beautiful cat, should I steal kitty?

This cat is clearly starving and scared, she cries at night and I throw food for her to eat because she's too scared to come near.
The other Neighbor said that she told her she kicks the cat and doesn't feed her.
Shes a beautiful young kitty and I'm moving house soon and am looking for a kitty.
Should I steal this kitty and take care of her?
How do I steal her without scaring her?

Yeah do it! Gain the cats trust speedily so you can move with her

@Zombee yeah that's exactly my thoughts. I only have until March 1st and I'll have to sit outside at night alot and wait for her.

@MushroomFaerie Should be enough time, especially if you have already been feeding it, to gain a kittens trust just to get it in a cage. Did that once with a full grown feral cat that had problems with it's leg.

@DeWayfarer where do I find a cage?

DeWayfarer · 61-69, M

@MushroomFaerie traveling cages are available just about everywhere. Walmart I think has them.

@MushroomFaerie ok I see where you are from now. Try a pet store.

MushroomFaerie

@DeWayfarer I bet they cost quite a bit. I was hoping just to pop her in the car and keep in her my new place for a few weeks

@MushroomFaerie plastic ones cost around $20 u.s. at most.

@MushroomFaerie So you know the problem with just popping it in your car is, as you sad it's scared. Once it's loose in your car it will be all over it, making driving difficult.

@DeWayfarer my last car just sat on the floor in the back seat

@MushroomFaerie You where lucky. And you said this one is scared. That makes a huge difference.

MushroomFaerie

@DeWayfarer yeah my baby was scared too. She did jump on me first though, clung to me while I tried to turn a corner but then got in the back. I'm only moving a 4 minute drive away in a low speed zone

@MushroomFaerie I wish you luck. 😊
