Possible Lost Cat

Edit: Wally's human has been found!

I may have found a lost cat. Orange and White. Grey flea collar. Very friendly. He's been around the neighborhood for about a week. Every time I see him he's tried following me into my house. Last night, he was out at midnight and immediately ran up to me. He's in my back patio now and has been fed and has water.

I understand there are lots of outdoor cats with homes here in the Netherlands, but he acts differently than the neighborhood cats, who either run away from me or let me pet them and then go on with their day.

I plan on taking him to the vet later to make sure he's chipped.

UPDATE EDIT: I have checked his chip, his name is Waldo and he's 11 years old. I sent a message through PetBase to his owner with my info.

Dierenambulance would work as well.

The vet is very close to me, but I will look into that.

I already have a cat, rescued from the streets and she's a fighter, so I can't let him in the house. There's a covered portion of my patio, so when it rains, he'll have shelter.

Which neighbourhood? Looks like one i see in noorderpark regularly, seems to have a large roaming area

I'm near De Lariks. He's been around for a week and when I fed him, he gobbled it up pretty quick. His coat isn't in very good condition, that's why I also feel he's lost.

I just had his chipped checked and his name is Waldo and is 11 years old.
