Upon realizing which cat was in the trap, the volunteer decided to have him checked out by a vet anyway, as he had been seen outside for the past few months living on a neighbor's front porch and chasing birds in the street, just barely missing getting run over. The neighbor was contacted about the cat, and the CARA volunteer was told that the cat had put outside, "hoping someone would take him because of allergies in the family". It was obvious that this cat would not be treated the way he needed to be treated at this home and the cat was relinquished to CARA.
