He is nothing but skin and bones and matted hair...
Despite the horrific shape he is not feral and proceeded to collapse into a heap of purring once he was inside and warm and being pet.
We knew why when we learned that the complex is mostly for older, retired people as we have seen this before.
It happens when elderly people adopt a cat and then pass away without any plans for the care of their companion.
Their relatives come and sell their homes and don't want to be bothered with having to place a pet or even just dropping them off at the local shelter.
So they abandon them.
This is the result.
As he was fed regularly and probably brushed or had his hair trimmed he never had to hunt for food or groom himself.
Out in the wild, he starved and his coat became a solid, painful mat.
We immediately shaved all off his tangled fur and got him into some warm blankets with as much food as he could eat...
All he has to do is rest now and we will find him another forever home... He has been through enough losing his human and then being abandoned.
