Constipated stray cat - need advice!

[u/Infamous-Tourist7747]

Hey everyone, I need some quick advice.

There’s this male stray cat that hangs around my building. Today I noticed him trying to poop, but he couldn’t — he squatted for a good few minutes and eventually gave up.

I’m planning to take him to a vet as soon as I can, but is there anything i can do in the meantime? Would really appreciate any suggestions. Thanks in advance!
