It is very clear to us that this owner does not deserve this cat. If we had any doubts about that throughout reading this story, they vanished the second we read that the cat has not been to the vet once in two years. Whether you will keep the cat or not, it has no business being with an owner who doesn't care about it.

What matters here more than anything is the safety of the cat, and it sounds like you are right to be worried about it. You can't have a house cat if you don't have a house, you cannot be responsible for it this way.
