I wanted to pass along how indigo along with a plug-in from flyingdiver helped saved a cat.
My wife and I noticed a cat (on and off) around our house - it looked pretty rough and we were worried it would be in trouble once the winter weather set in.
We could not just set out food since we live on the edge of a forested area and any food left out would bring in a ton of raccoons.
We used Indigo and Joe’s plug in to set up an alert that flashes the room lights red when a cat is spotted on my security cameras.
Using that alert we were able to slowly gain the cat’s trust by feeding him without starting a raccoon invasion.
We got him into a schedule, feeding every morning and every night. Over a few weeks he would show up like clockwork.
He was very skittish so without the camera info this would have never been possible. We contacted a shelter that loaned us a trap. We got him used to going in the trap and then yesterday we set it.
Long story short, he is now in the care of the shelter - The vet tech said once he realized they were helping him, he became relaxed and turned into a purr machine.
They will hold him and care for him until the infected cuts on his feet and some dental work he needs is taken care of. Then they will fix him and find a forever home for him.
We are so relieved and thankful for the fantastic work the shelter does and the Indigo ecosystem that made this possible.
