Tick on stray cat around my apartmnt

Post by vengfulconch279 »

In the last couple weeks I've had an adult cat show up around my apartment. We don't know where she came from and we don't think shes feral. All of my neighbors feed her and love to see her around. She really took to me and my roommate she has tried to come into our apartment a couple times but we aren't allowed to have pets at our apartment. In the last couple days we are starting to see that she has a couple ticks on her and one on her cheek and possibly in her ear. We can kinda get close to her but she still seems kinda aggressive. If we just leave them there is will the cat be okay?
