There is a friend that potentially has a stray or neglected cat, but I don't feel like bringing it home.
Why would you not bring it home?
I want to bring it home but I don't think I would be able to take care of it the way that it needs to be taken care of.
It should be appreciated that you care about the cat you mentioned and it's fair that you can't be it's forever owner. Reach out to your local non-kill animal shelter and other similar places to make sure the cat can be taken care of.
I did a Google search for it and found multiple animal shelters close to me.
I'm glad you were able to do some research into that. This will be the best option to take it to that shelter so could find the proper care or adoption.
