lost cat at the Hess gas station/Dunkin` Donuts

See this 7/28/2010 message from a Truxton Circle resident:

There is a cat that appears to be lost who is hanging out at the Dunkin` Donuts at the Hess Gas Station on Rhode Island and New Jersey Avenues. It is a sweet grey and white cat who is clearly not feral. The fur around its neck area has been shaved (a recent surgery making it impossible for it to wear a collar?). If anyone thinks this is their cat, head to the Dunkin` Donuts -- it is there most mornings. Otherwise, does anyone have suggestions on what to do? I hate to see it struggle to survive without alley cat skills, especially near such busy streets. But I don`t want to take it to the shelter only to get put down.
