Concerned About Neighbours Cat

My neighbour has a couple of elderly cats (in their mid teens I believe) they are outside most of the time and I get concerned about their health as one of the cats has been sneezing a lot and has a mucus discharge permanently at the side of her nose and eye, she drools a lot, her fur is in bad condition, she always looks in very poor condition. I have had a friendly chat about the cats to my neighbour and she has been unconcerned about these issues and says they are fine, I know I should mind my own business but I would have taken my own cat to the vet if he had the same issues. Is the cat likely to recover without treatment, she has been like this for a few months now

I would definitely report this poor animal to the RSPCA if the neighbour continues to ignore you. Could you possibly take the cat to the vet yourself (I have done this in the past when a neighbour has point blank refused to look after her cat) and paid for its treatment. The cat really isn't fine is it ? At the moment I am feeding and keeping an eye on another cat in my street that is left out all the time in all weathers. I sometimes wonder why some people bother getting animals !
