Help? I've acquired a very young kitten?

We've had a female cat visiting in the garden for about 7 months. We actually thought she belonged to someone but we discovered she had no home and was a stray. We were planning on catching her a couple of months ago but she disappeared. Anyway she reappeared and had a litter in my garden. Well I say litter. One kitten. Numerous attempts to catch her have all failed. She was happy to take food from anyone but would never let us touch her

Mum cat was found dead on the side of the road this morning. I feel so guilty as it is.

Anyway I've got the kitten inside. It's pissing it down. He's soaked. At a guess I'd say he's at most 6 weeks. He's been eating the food we've left for mum. He fits in the palm of my hand. I know nothing about cats really. Especially one this small

So I've booked him into the vets tomorrow. Earliest appointment

I have a 2 year old and a husband in bed from an appendicitis emergency.
So I'm on my own really

So questions
What do I do?
What do I feed him?
I've dried him with a towel and he's now all fuzzy but he's screaming murder

My 2 year old won't leave him alone but I can't split them cos she can't be left alone and he's like a tiny little thing. Any suggestions? Could I put him in a box for now? Just so he can sleep without being poked

Ok I don't know what to do.

I'm loving this thread. Bless you for taking in Peppa and now Bingo. And congratulations on your transformation from cat-indifferent to fully-fledged Cat Slave!

Casper says hi!

Looks just like a cat I had in the past and totally adored. What a beauty! Bingo looks delighted with his new home!

Casper is so cute! I have seen and enjoyed all the cat photos. I've gone from meh cats are OK I guess to I wonder how many cats I could have to make an army.
I've seen all the photos and loved every single one

I only met Bluey and Bingo for the first time a week ago, thanks to my DGD.
Bingo is a great name to go with Peppa 🥰
(esp as they’re both girls’ names 🤣)
