Lost/Stray Cat!

Urgent: Help Needed for a Stray Cat in NW London

Today, a female cat made an unexpected appearance at my apartment complex in Northwest London, and I’m reaching out for assistance. Although she appears somewhat clean in the photograph, she definitely needs attention. Unfortunately, she’s quite skittish around me, making it difficult to get a clearer shot, but my neighbor has managed to interact with her more comfortably.

While she doesn’t seem in a poor condition, she is slightly skinny, and it appears she may be struggling—with her claws getting caught in the mat she’s resting on. My neighbor offered her some human food, which she managed to keep down. However, it’s concerning to note that she hasn’t had any water yet.

If anyone in the area recognizes this cat or might have lost their furry companion, please send me a direct message. I’m open to any advice on how to help her or bring her back to her home. Your input could make a significant difference for this little one!
