Found cat apparently living in garage. What do?

I noticed some cat prints in the snow outside the garage lately, but didn't think much of it. Today I went into the garage and was greeted by a young male cat sleeping on an old computer chair in there.

He seems sweet, a little skittish. I don't really want to adopt him in the first place, but let alone if he's someones pet. Not fixed, no collar.

We brought him in.. he's doing the usual cat business of scoping the place out. I'm not so sure now though. I think maybe we should put him back outside, maybe with some food and water.. if he sticks around, then we can figure out what to do? Maybe see if he's chipped, doubt it though.

Ugh.. lol
 
either take it to the shelter, shoot it, feed it or dump it in the country (or different town)
 
you let the cat own you? how could you let that happen. i usually toss em over the fence.

But sadly you fall under this rule now:

The non-typical ATOT solution would be to take him to a vet or the humane society and see if he's chipped. If he is, they can find out who he belongs to. If not, they can take him in.
 
Regular person, take him in as a pet but keep an eye out for lost cat signs. Take him to a vet to get him checked out and again, lost cat etc. This being ATOT though, umm, inflate him to sidewall?

Spend the $30-40 bucks, get him fixed and ear clipped. Put him back in the garage. Buy some cheap bulk cat food (if you have a Costco, they make a really good and cheap one at $16 for 25lbs: Kirkland Feline Maintenance...I go through 1.25 bags of it a week on my feral colony...not to mention the 14 cans of Friskies cat food per day).

profit from pest protection and something that is fun to have around.

Sell it to your local chinese restaurant.

That urban tale is false. Chinese restaurants do not buy cats directly from people.

You have to find your local Oriental supermarket, they will buy the cat for 10 dollars for the young cats, 5 for the older ones. Then they butcher them and sell them to chinese restaurants.
