Hello there! It's so wonderful of you to consider helping an injured stray cat. Navigating these situations can be tricky, but I'm here to guide you through the process.
First things first, the responsibility for paying for a stray's medical care can vary. Often, it's the person bringing the animal in who may be expected to cover initial costs. However, some veterinary clinics work with local shelters or rescue organizations that might assist with expenses. It’s always a good idea to call ahead to check if such arrangements exist in your area.
In the meantime, keep the stray comfortable. If the injury isn’t severe and you’re able to safely handle the stray, you can make a cozy, quiet spot for the cat to rest. Offer some food and water, but keep interactions gentle and minimal to avoid stress.
It's crucial to watch out for signs of a more severe condition, such as heavy bleeding, difficulty breathing, or obvious fractures. These require immediate veterinary attention.
If you're unsure about anything or want more guidance, booking a video consult with one of our Dial A Vet professionals could be incredibly helpful. They can provide more personalized advice and help you decide on the best course of action.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
