More Larry news and I could use some help (lemmy.world)

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.

The most you can do is neuter him and keep feeding him, but seeing his hair, i'd say he's been doing okay, clean too. Unless he's skeletal or really obvious malnutritioned, weight and body size is irrelevant, maybe he's a light eater. After neutered he'll likely chonked up. But since he got an owner you might need to talk to the owner about that.

    Yeah, it's obviously hard to tell, but that one picture, Larry looks very healthy. I see way too many people with chunky cats,

    I'm going to take OP's word for it that the cat isn't neutered, and that's obviously something that should be addressed. Unfortunately, Larry looks older than 5-6 months, so not gonna be pleasant.
