Then I tried to wash the cat in our sink, which wasn't easy. Now it's all clean and sweet and bug-free and can come in my house.

I can't stand sitting by while my neighbors ignore the kitty anymore. It's coming to live inside with me and my family and our other pets.
thats so nice! our third cat in my direct family came to us that way, except she was shot with a pellet or bb gun by one of the neighborhood hoodlums, and we paid the vet bill. i also have done this for a few cats, but havnt kept the cats, found them a nice home after all shots and fixxed. do you have other cats? if so, take porch-cat to the vet, might be FHIV/or feline lukimiea(even if just the carrier) and i would hate to see your other cats fall ill. you might have already done this, or thought of.
