Hi wise people
Yesterday a hungry ktten arrived in our back garden, DH gave it some milk, and lo and behold it doesn't want to go away! This isn't really a problem - we'd like to adopt it if it hasn't anywhere else to go, but I'm not sure what to do with it (I never had a pet larger than a hamster as a child, so am a bit clueless!)
She (we think its a she - no obvious male bits(!?)) has fleas I reckon, so haven't let her in the house. She is pretty friendly with me and the kids, purrs a fair amount and is definitely hanging around.
She looks like a mix of the ginger cat and tabby cat I have been shooing out of my garden since we moved here 6 months ago, but this is the first time I've seen her - she's not a tiny kitten, but no idea how old.
What should I do? Take her to the vets to check for a chip/get flea treatment (any other treatment?) How do I best transport her there? (bearing in mind I don't want to spend too much money in case she belongs to someone nearby we don't end up keeping her).
Anything else I need to know?
Yours, clueless about cats, but keen to do the best I can..
