I think 90% of my posts on this are cat-related and that checks out. So I used to live in the King-Lincoln area, I met a stray cat colon and the past 4 years I’ve been feeding them every month or so. I haven’t been alone people created shelters for them in the wooded area pictured below (now all removed) and I used to see kibble and empty wet food containers

For everyone's safety, meet in a public place and never send money to strangers to recover a pet. Verify anyone who claims a pet before arranging a meeting.
