What do, /an/? The cat is very cuddly, but I can't keep him. He might belong to someone else, and I am not allowed by my landlord to own pets anyways. I want him to be okay, but I don't want him to think I'm his new owner. Is it okay if I let him out to fend for himself once he wakes up, or should I wait until the local animal protection centers open up and contact them? Should I go door to door in the neighborhood I found him in? Should I completely refrain from feeding him?
Pic is not the actual cat, be he kinda looks like the one in the picture.

Wait till a shelter/vet opens. Take him there they can check to see if he has an id chip. If not some dipshit just lost their "pet".
Pro mode:
>take him home
>move to place that allows cats
>adopt your new roommate that won't pay rent but will always be there for you when you get home

Adopting him is not an option, I'm afraid. I love cats, but I simply do not have the means to own one. I travel frequently between two towns, and like I said, I'm not allowed by contract to own pets, and I really like my apartment despite that.
I guess I'll just have to wait until the vet opens. I can't really sleep while he's here. I don't know whether or not he's houseclean, and I'm scared of him causing property damage while I'm sleeping. Since I'm not allowed to own pets, that would probably be pretty bad.

Cats that aren't feral are pretty much automatically house broken. If you've got time run to the store and pick up a cheap bag of litter. If your op pic is the cat in question I gurantee you a kitty that clean would know to use the litter box. Also, give him some food. If you're leaving him at a shelter tomorrow don't let him go hungry.
A cheap, small bag of litter and a cheap, small bag of food shouldn't run you more than 5$ and you can probably give what's left over to the shelter.

Post on Craigslist for a new home. I did that with a cat that followed me a mile home in the middle of the night. She was glued to my side. Scrawny but not exactly emaciated. No collar. Was super fucking chill. At first time tried putting her in the bathroom but she flipped out but once I let her out and chill with me she was fine indoors.
Some young artsy woman came down from NYC and picked her up the next day after I posted her on Craigslist with raving how much of a kickass cat she is.
I've had for updates before and she's happy with the kitty and kitty is still happy.
Might have been someone's pet but fuck outdoor cats and while she wasn't sick, she looked like she had been outside for awhile and was ravenous. I see roadkill cats all the time and I could let her get run over.
Post good things about kitty and say you need to find her a home or foster asap.

Why not shut him in the bathroom for the night? Assuming you have tile floors. He shouldn't spray the walls and any accidents on the floor could be easily cleaned up. Throw a folded up blanket in there with him with food and water, he'll be just fine.

Ever thought of putting a "FOUND CAT" sticker where you found it with a picture?
