Well, all living things deserve a chance so I agree to this but you have to be careful if you have had a serious illness or cancer recently, cats have a disease that they carry that will mean your death if your not careful. Take it right to the vet but use gloves to hold it and put it in a carrier you don't know what it's temperment it like.

It's up to you and your family, but I'd highly recommend taking it to a vet to be checked out first thing.

Yes and no. If it comes in when invited, it is because that cat wants to part of a stable environment where it is fed and warm and where another being interacts with it. It is not OK to take in a stray cat that does not want to come in. The fur will fly and it wont all be the cat's.

There could be a problem, though, because you do not know what has happened to the cat previously, and it might exhibit behavior not conducive to a happy environment for either of you.

The best kind of cat to get is a kitten who has been with its mother for a certain number of weeks. If a cat is taken from its mother too early, it will "kneed" you with its claws.

As for having a disease, any animal you take into your home, whether full grown or baby, found or bought, needs to be taken to a vet to be check for diseases.

Yes, because they need a home and just take them to the vets to get checked and give them a bath when you take them in so they can be clean...

Disgustinggg!
Let them stay outside
there are too many cats anyways and if nobody cared about it enough to take care of it in the first place, they should have handed it off to somebody who would take care of it. If you really want a cat, you would go out and get one, not just wait for it to show up on your doorstep.
