Edit: I removed the HELP and extra question mark from the end since I’ve now left it be outside and don’t need a advice. I thought the cross post would include the body text from the first post on [email protected] so I guess I accidentally left out all the other pictures and additional info, oops

    A kitten outside in an apartment complex just seems concerning to me 😅 I’ve never had a cat though, and none of my friends keep outdoor cats so I don’t really know what’s normal

    I live right next to the highway and there aren’t many neighborhoods around here, so sometimes I see feral cats at night, but never cats that seem happy to interact with people but also want to hide under cars and find shelter

    I tried to take it inside so I could figure out what to do but the crinkly noise from the seal on the door scared it and it ran all the way back to the ground floor 😅

      Our cat could go out for days (we live in Paris, France) and she lived to 21 ;)

      Ask your neighbors (later this morning), you can also put a note on the bulletin board if there is one, or scotch it somewhere near the entrance of the building with a picture of the cat, letting know you found it with your phone number?

        But how do you find it again if no one replies?

        There’s no bulitin but I could ask aparement management to send out an email when they open in the morning

      I live in an apartment complex and my neighbours all let their cats out. The road is a “Spielstraße” and our local wildlife doesn’t eat cats.

        Yeah, it just felt weird cause the outside of my complex is just parking lot and speed bumps, it kept getting spooked by cars going by. I see feral cats here but that’s it

        The area around my apartment is highway and a business park, which is also mostly parking lots lol 😅. It’s kind of the theme in a lot of America

        But it seems like it was outside intentionally, someone pointed out that the collar looked like a flea collar which made me more confident so I left it be, hopefully it finds its way back to the right door to go home in the morning
