Well, there was no trip to the emergency vet last night. Called ahead of time and they were booked up until 11am this morning at the very earliest. They are the only emergency place around so they are booked solid and require you to wait on premises which was a little long for me.
I did get some ideas from them though and was told to keep him confined in a crate (which we're doing anyway) and make sure he's at least drinking and using the litter box. If he's peeing then his back is most likely fine which is good. If he had a broken leg (or legs) he most likely wouldn't be able to get in or out of the litter box so that's another positive.
They agree though that he still needs to be seen. So for now he's alone, away from my other cats and resting. I'll make an appt with my vet on Monday and hopefully I can get in quickly.
Still no word on the FB or CL lost ads. Called the store we found him at to see if anyone had asked about it and nothing. So I guess we have another cat. I live in Michigan which is a no-kill state so humane societies and shelters are at capacity and above. Many of our animal controls around here won't even deal with cats. They only deal with dogs because of the limited resources.
Thanks for the suggestions. I hate to see pets just left and hate it even more when people just stare and go on with their day like nothing is amiss. I realize not everyone is a dog or cat person but being a decent human being isn't hard. I could say a lot more but won't. Anyway, /rant.
And an obligatory pic for the cat lovers on here:
