Stray Cat in Neighborhood

This came today from Helen Morrison just below us on W. Shore Road. If anyone knows where this cat belongs, please get in touch with us at jpwebmaster@fairpoint.net, or with Helen at helendanamorr@yahoo.com. Here's what she said:

There is now another cat outside, and before I try to
tame it and get it off to North Country Rescue (I just
can't do another) I want to know if it belongs to
anyone.  It is very skittish.  It is an adult, cream
colored with large gray splotches.  Its coat looks
like shadows on snow in the woods.  Does this cat ring
a bell for you?

We don't know if someone is dropping cats in the neighborhood or what, but there have been more than the usual number of apparent strays this winter. It's way too cold for them to survive long outside without shelter, and certainly people could find the animal a home or take it to an animal shelter rather than being so heartless and cruel.
