You definitely did the right thing! Even if it ends up being short term whilst the owner is in hospital, you've made sure that that cat is being cared for properly. If it becomes apparent that the owner can't care for the cat long term, that's sad but the safety and wellbeing of the cat has to come first!

Have kidnapped a cat, well cat napped and I though I would ask on here to see if I did the right thing or am I a cunt.
Cat owner has gone in to hospital 5-6 days ago. The owner won't be coming out of hospital for a long time, not sure that the owner was looking after the cat as owner barely looked after herself. But that is another story. Cat has been on the street for 5-6 days and not been inside. No one nearby was looking after him, I found this out as met him meowing round the communal bins. Didn't seem like the feral cats as he was quite chatty, not hissing. The local cat friendly neighbours have filled me in to what happened.
No one nearby wants to look after the cat, so decided to try and trap him, to at least get him some attention. Put the cat basket on the floor and he went in to a cat basket willingly with a kitty meat treat. Have dropped him off at a friends a few miles away, where he is the only cat. Poor kitty has fleas, so have treated with flea treatment, going to wait a bit and de worm him too. Poor cat is hungry, but limiting his food so he doesn't throw up. Awaiting a vet appointment to get him checked out, spoke to the vet on the 'phone and looks a little skinny but fine.
Seems happy indoors and after flea brushing and treatment is smelling the house and finding things to lie on. Seem happy indoors and not trying to escape.
Am concerned that I haven't done the right thing.
