Please leave some for the others!
I wonder, you've a subscription at your vet?
Years ago where we lived, there was an association called "POUPAPOU" (means funnily
"lice not lice") which helped us sparsely giving bags of cat food, and paying
some of the vet fees.
Hoping you can find an equivalent help?
Take care... of them

So I'm not the only one!
I don't know where the cats around my house come from, but I don't believe
they're all strays. They sure can jump fences, though! Always nice seeing
a new cat.

A couple of months ago, my son while sitting in his vehicle after starting it
one very cold morning, was startled by this creature jumping into his lap.
After greeting her with some petting, he lifted her from his lap, placing her
on the ground outside the car. He then got back to loading the vehicle for his
trip, walking back into his place a few more times in the interim. He was just
about to lock the front-door when he noticed the cat starring back at him from
inside his place.
Being somewhat emaciated and dirty, he found it hard to simply place feline back
out into the cold. So, he decided to turn his attention towards the cat, cancelling
his trip to Bend, OR. Which sums up my son, knowing how important the weekend
trip was to him and of his allergies.
We tried bathing some of the filth off, see if there was a cat somewhere underneath,
maybe check for injuries. My son held the cat while my daughter and I did the
washing. The result was a much cleaner cat, water everywhere and two mauled hands
(my son’s). The pic below is after a month of my son’s nurturing. Completely
recovered, it seems.
She's very tiny, but proportionally so. Are there pigmy cat breeds?
Any of you cat folks know how to bath a cat? I’m sure there’s better method,
that doesn’t involve blood loss or the wearing of body armor 
btw, he named her Drusilla, after Emperor Augustus third wife, Liva Drusilla

Very pretty cat and looks like she is happy. I have had small cats. Usually
they just had shorter legs.
We bath all our cats and they are good about it, except our oldest one. What
we do not is to give her a mild tranquilizer from the vet to calm her down.
My wife is allergic to cats so we have to bath them. The other 6 are fine with
it. We start that as soon as we get them.

you, but how? She's becoming more playful, which I take as a sign of health
and carefreeness, or as you say, happy.

Sort of like women, except for the owner thing.

We bath them once every two months. Probably should be more but it is still
a little traumatic on a couple of them and not always easy to get them out of
their hiding places. They change where they hide each time we are looking for
them.

Btw, if someone would like to take Drusilla, we'll go out of our way to make
it happen. My son just wanted to help the feline, get her back to health. Which
he's done. He travels a lot for work, having a pet was never in his thinking.
Let me know John or whomever, if they have a good home in mind for her.
Thanks

She’s beautiful. Been a while since I had cats (current rescue dogs grew up
without as my last cat passed before they came) but I used to do an oil rinse
after bathing that really worked on keeping allergies down - cats and dogs weren’t
greasy either. Cardinal was name brand I used years ago.

Thanks, I appreciate the advise. I googled the brand, might just do that.

Hey, it's 4 months ago

You shouldn't. You can help clean them, ged rid of hair they'd swallow
and can make problems sometimes using your wet own hand, from time to time, with
no champoo or soap they'd lick and ingest.
Much more, they'll like this - a couple here litterally require me
(meow, meoww!) to wash them when I'm close to the bathroom sink, say once
a week.
Don't soap/bath them - apart maybe the first time when you've found a
stray or such rare cases.
