But can I take them home? What if they have a collar with a name tag that has my neighbor's address on it? Or what if they're wearing a leash being held by a person who won't stop saying "Please put my cat back down"?

Take every cat you see home. As for those scenarios:

  1. Your neighbor is trying to trick you so they can have the cat for themselves, don't fall for it. Take the cat home.
  2. Those weirdos that attached themselves to the cat clearly don't understand what's happening, take the cat home

  1. An unsupervised cat outside can be detrimental to the environment

  2. An unsupervised cat outside could get gravely injured/killed by vehicles or pos human beings or pos human beings in vehicles or wild animals or drown in sewers or drown in open bodies of water or eat something poisonous or pick up a disease that might be deadly/hard to fight
