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.

From the picture he looks fine.

But I know the common internet solution is to just steal other people's pets if you disagree with how they are treated, so I guess you could do that. Technically it's only theft of property, so not that major of a crime. And if the owners don't speak English, chances are they won't report. Just be a bit sad about it.

I'm not going to steal Larry from his original owners, that option is not on the table. Keep in mind that picture was taken after a month of me feeding him. When he first showed up he was really skinny.
