I was able to build some trust and now it's extremely friendly, I live in an apartment complex with no pet doors in central NC, should I bring it inside and see if it's chipped in the morning? I don't wanna leave it outside if it might have no home, but I don't wanna steal someone's cat

It looks like an adolescent or a late kitten? The collar has nothing on it, it's just a piece of white flexible plastic with a buckle...

Removed the "HELP" since people in the other thread were able to help me figure out that I should leave it be outside

If the cat has a collar, someone put it on. Leave it outside.

Okay, that seems to be the consensus from the other thread too, thank you

Based on the description, it's likely just a flea collar. People in my apartment put food out and flea collar any strays they can handle so it might not even indicate ownership.

Well it's not around anymore so if I see it while I'm out on a walk again or something maybe I can tuck a note in its collar and see if anyone takes it? I just went out to check cause now I'm a bit anxious could have led it away from its home and I don't want it to not be able to get back 😅

The recurring trend here clearly is me being anxious lol
