A feral cat question

[jesswolfe]

Hi,

I have a feral cat I take care of. He had this patch on his back where there is no fur. And it looks to be getting bigger. I can't see anything oozing or any kind of scabbing. The problem is I can't get close enough to him to touch him and inspect him so I don't know how serious it is. It could be as simple as a flea reaction but I want to make sure the other cats don't get sick as well.

My question is whether anyone can help me catch him (I don't have a trap) and is there a vet in the area who would be willing to look at him? Money is an issue as well.

I am in Sebastopol.

I would call Forgotten Felines for help ... they deal with feral cats ... they can loan you a trap and they have vets who are used to dealing with ferals ... good luck!
