I've posted before about Larry. I thought he was a stray or more likely abandoned and I've been feeding him for over a month now and trying to find a home for him (my wife is allergic so I can't bring him in). I found out today he has a home. One of my neighbors owns him. The problem is he's very thin and not neutered and is allowed to roam around the neighborhood. It seems at least as far a I can tell he's not being taken care of. I'm really torn as to what to do. I've thought about confronting the neighbor but they don't speak English. Any advice would be appreciated.

Keep in mind that any advice you get here will be from indoor humans who spend most of their time on Reddit/Lemmy and aren't very adjusted to the outdoors / real world.

If he's actually skinny, keep leaving him food, that's all you really need to be concerned about.

I mean, you shouldn’t really feed a neighbour’s cat anyway, as they might have social dietary requirements. Though I suppose in this case if he’s really not neutered he may never have been to a vet anyway,
