so as soon as you can get him into a carrier, take him in to get him checked for a microchip.

What happens with young male cats who don't get snipped in time is that they follow the scent of a prospective lady friend, often for miles, and then can't remember where home is.

Until then, you are going to have to be patient with food and treats and a fishing line type toy as your best friends in taming this little guy down.
