Well, the stray cat that I took to the vet Saturday turns out to be FIV-positive. So he can't be an outdoor cat any more; he'd just pass it around the local population some more. I already have an indoor cat that I don't much want exposed to it, and the way my house is laid out would make it difficult to keep them separated without shutting one or the other of them into a pretty small room.
The vet put me in touch with the local animal aid society, and the lady there knows someone who fosters FIV-positive cats. Hopefully arrangements can be made.
Edit to add: No arrangements can be made before the second week of July, because the fosterer is full up until she takes a couple of cats to an out-of-state sanctuary. But my stray bit someone at the vet's office on Monday...this story gets more complicated by the day...and has to be quarantined until July 2 anyway. Poor kitty. I was just trying to do him a good turn.
Meanwhile, as of today I am on vacation. Tomorrow I'm driving to Georgia for my niece's wedding on Saturday; both my brothers are going to be there as well, so it'll be a little reunion. Could be entertaining.
And I've got all of next week off, and no plans to do anything strenuous once I get back from Georgia on Sunday night. I'm very much looking forward to doing not much of anything.
